Reminders

Parents evening next week

Please can you ensure that your child comes to school with a complete set of spare clothes including underwear and socks as the children are enjoying playing in the water at lunchtimes.

We kindly request a £5 fund for resources each big term, this is to buy ingredients to make natural playdough, cooking activities and experiences. We also ask for a box of tissues!

This week our focus book is George and the Dragon by Chris Wormell. We have made dragons, designed a knight's shield and presented our artwork to the class. Please see below a reading and the vocabulary words for this week:

Maths

This week, the children have built on their understanding of the composition of numbers by investigating the composition of 3, 4 and 5. Composing and de-composing numbers involves the children investigating part–part–whole relations, e.g. seeing that 3 can be composed of 1 and 2. Through practical experience, they will consolidate their understanding of a whole being made up of smaller parts. They will begin to recognise that numbers can be made by combining parts in different ways. A key focus has been the spatial arrangements that can be made with different combinations of the same number of objects.

Have a lovely weekend!
