This week has been National Storytelling Week!
In school we have celebrated this by having extra daily story telling sessions. Each class has had a chance to ring the school bell to let the whole school know it is time to read a story. We also had a Story Teller visit school on Wednesday. The children really enjoyed this and listened for nearly an hour to a variety of stories. It has been lovely to read some extra stories and listen to the children talk about some of their favourite books. I hope this encourages them all to read more often at home.
In maths we have been revisiting place value. We have been partitioning and ordering numbers on a number line. We have also been adding and subtracting multiples of 10.
We have continued with our work based on the story of Cinderella. This week we have been looking at writing to Inform. We have been looking at Instructional Writing and will be writing some of our own Cinderella themed instruction next week.
Remember to book your parents meeting appointment and I look forward to talking to you next week.
Enjoy your weekend.

The children have all had a fantastic week of learning.
I have been really impressed with their enthusiasm for learning their Times Tables. We have been working on our 2, 5 and 10 Times Tables and beginning to know these facts using our mental recall skills. I am in the process of setting up a Key Stage 1 Rewards System for Times Tables. Certificates and medals will be coming soon!
The links below are from Numberblocks and will hopefully make learning their Times Tables more fun. Your support at home in learning these is much appreciated.
We have continued are writing work using the story of Cinderella. We have been writing diary entries as Cinderella recounting the events of The Ball. Next week we will be moving on to some writing to 'Inform' with some Instructional Writing.
On Thursday the children all brought home a letter about Parents Evenings. If you have not seen this please look in your child's bookbag.
Have a lovely weekend!

We are already getting close to the end of January, time is just flying by!
We have continued our work on our topic 'Changes' this week. The children have been learning about The Equator and what the climate is like in countries that are near to it. We have used maps to locate some countries and continents that are close to it.
In maths the children are really enjoying our work on division and multiplication. We have been solving some mixed number sentence problems using different strategies. We are beginning to work on our mental recall of facts for the 2,5 and 10 Times Tables so any work at home working on the quick mental recall of these facts would be appreciated and help to improve the children's speed.
The Cinderella story has really grabbed the children's attention. This week we have been writing invitations to the Royal Ball.
On Wednesday we had Tony, 'The Music Man' from Music for Schools, talking to the children about learning to play a Brass or Woodwind instrument. There is a link on the letter they brought home with all the information needed. At this point we are looking at interest in learning an instrument and it may be that lessons do not start for children until Year 3.
Enjoy your weekend.
