Please make sure that your child doesn’t bring nuts to school.That means absolutely no Nutella in sandwiches and no chocolate with nuts in!
This Week, we are still focusing on the traditional tale The Princess and the pea.
The story of The Princess and the Pea is a classic fairy tale that supports holistic child development. It provides a rich, engaging narrative that helps children develop language, emotional understanding, and critical thinking skills in a fun, imaginative way.

Maths
This week, the children are still working on understanding of the composition of 5. Composing and decomposing numbers involves the children investigating part–part–whole relations, e.g. seeing that 5 can be made of 3 and 2. The children will deepen their understanding of a ‘whole’ being made up of smaller parts through practical experience, in this case moving frogs from a log to a pool in a nursery rhyme.
Number bonds to 5 are crucial in Reception (EYFS) because they build fundamental number sense, enabling children to understand that numbers can be split into component parts (composition of number). Mastering these pairs (1+4,2+3, etc.) develops fluency, confidence, and mental, speed-based addition/subtraction skills required for future mathematical mastery, such as bonds to 10 and 20.
Have a lovely week.
