Mrs Bentley has been very impressed with our writing this week.We have been using our phonics to help us write a sentence about the troll in The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We came up with some amazing wow words(adjectives to describe him).
We have been thinking about capital letters, fingers spaces , reading it back to check it makes sense and using a full stop at the end of our sentence.
In maths we have been using our thinking skills to help talk about the number three.
"If we draw 5 dots and take away 2 we have 3 left" Leo
Please ask us about the number 3. What is it bigger than? Smaller than? Next week we shall be talking about less than.
We have started to practice our nativity play. If you need any help with the costumes for this please ask. We are enjoying learning the songs.
We look forward to seeing you at the Christmas Fair, and have been busy making decorations for this. Please come along and buy our decorations. Thank you for all your donations.
Our Learning Owl this week is Aidan who has been taking in his learning forwards. well done. Have fun with Otto.

Jambo!
We have really enjoyed taking part in Cultural Week and have lots of interesting facts about Kenya. We have had lots of fun making necklaces, fruit kebabs, drumming and taking part in an African dance.
We also looked carefully at patterns on fabrics and made our own patterned dough tiles.
We enjoyed dressing in colourful clothes and trying to raise money for toilets in Africa.
Have lots of fun in the holidays and keep safe.

Little Red Riding Hood
We have had another busy week. In maths we have been practising adding 1 more. We choose a number card and carefully counted out that number and then added one more. We looked for the total number on a numberline. We said the number sentence aloud.

"Wood - hood" Freddie
"Eye - sky" Grace
" Old - gold " Toby
We enjoyed planting bulbs with Ronnie's mummy. Thank you, it was good fun.
In PE we have been practising aiming a beanbag at a target. We threw the beanbag underarm and watched the target
area very carefully.
