We have had a wonderful week to end this term full of Christmas activities, such as Christmas entertainment and our Christmas lunch. The children have done ever so well during this first term and they should be proud of their great start to their school life.

Autumn 2: week 6

What a wonderfully festive week we have had. The children displayed great dedication and excellent behaviour in preparation for the Christmas play and they confidently performed to a large audience. They should all feel very proud of their achievements.

In maths we focused on positional language. The boys enjoyed following prepositional instructions and searching for hidden objects.

In literacy we listened to the story ‘The Snowman’. The children retold the story focusing on how the snowman flew to the northpole, which linked this to our maths focus of prepositions.

Next week our theme continues to be ‘Our favourite book’. The star boys are as follows:

Monday: Tomi

Tuesday: Zachary

Wednesday: Zain

Thursday: No star boy, school finishes at 12.

Next week we will continue to enjoy more festive activities, in particular our Christmas lunch and entertainment on Wednesday. We have had some wonderful cards and monetary donations for our Christmas Giving Tree, please continue to bring in your cards and donations next week.

Have a lovely weekend.

Autumn 2: week 5

We have had another busy and fun filled week. In Expressive Arts and Design the boys have enjoyed rehearsing with years 1 and 2 for our Christmas play and they have been very dedicated throughout. We have also been making more Christmas crafts ready for the end of term. Each day the boys have enjoyed revealing one of the Advent baubles on the tree:

In Literacy and Understanding the World we listened to the Christmas story. We sequenced the pictures and we wrote accompanying captions and sentences. We also wrote some Christmas cards.

In Maths we looked at 3D shapes. All the boys really impressed naming the shapes and describing the properties, consisting of faces, edges and corners.
