A festive week has come to an end!
The children excelled in their Christmas performance of 'Hey Ewe' on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thank you to everyone who came to see the performance and we hope it got you in the festive spirit.
In English, the children finished writing their a postcard from Florence Nightingale to her sister Parthenope, recounting her hard work at Scutari Hospital.
In maths, the Year 2s have recapped how to solve subtraction number sentences involving two two-digit numbers. Year 1 have continued learning about place value within 20. Year 1 also completed a maths assessment to check what they have remembered from so far this academic year and I was amazed at how well they all did.
Elsewhere in the curriculum, the children have explored programming with the BeeBots and started to debug their programme. We have also continued exploring materials in science and completed a waterproof investigation to find the best material to use when making an umbrella.
The children all look very festive today in their Christmas jumpers today and enjoyed a Christmas Dinner!
Next week our class Christmas party is on Wednesday afternoon. If you have not already done so and are able to, please donate £1 to go towards the party food.
We are also going to be learning some first aid on Tuesday morning to finish our history topic on famous nurses. Your child will need to bring in a medium sized teddy bear on Tuesday to practice some first aid!
I hope you have a good weekend and I will see you again on Monday for the final week of school before the Christmas holidays!
