The children have continued to make a great start to the year. I have been really impressed with how sensibly they have all come into school each morning and settled down ready to learn.
This week in English we have started our work using the story 'The Owl Babies'. The children have been making predictions about the characters and writing descriptions of the owls.
In maths we have been focussing on 'Place Value'. The children have been doing lots of practical work using equipment and drawing the representation of 2 digit numbers. Understanding the value of each digit in a number is so important for the work in maths they will do later in the year and throughout their school life.
In Science the children have been thinking about living and non-living things. This has linked really well with our Art this week too. The children have been sculpting living things found in nature out of clay. They used pinching, pulling and rolling techniques and small tools to create their pieces of art.
Many of you will have seen the amazing new climbing equipment on the Key Stage 1 playground. The children have all had an opportunity to use this this week. They have shown skill and coordination when making their way round the structure.
Before the end of the half term the children will be using shoe boxes to create a 'Shoebox Habitat'. Could you send your child in with a shoe box before the week beginning 3rd October (if you have more than one, the extra would be much appreciated).
We will be back on Tuesday due to the Bank Holiday Weekend.
