‘The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.’
Dr Seuss
In RE we have learnt about how many people were excited to see Jesus, they knew he was important but didn’t realise that he was God. Mothers and children came to see him, his disciples didn’t think it was a good idea. So they started to send them away but Jesus said let the children come and blessed them. We thought about what we would say to Jesus if we were there and learnt the song, Jesus loves me with actions.
Maths: We have been looking at cherry diagrams, this has been tricky we have actions to help us remember where the wholes and parts are. We need to ensure that our parts aren’t the same or bigger than the whole number. We drew our own counters up to 10 in two colours to help identify the parts.
English: We have started to retell and write the story of where the wild things are, I have been so impressed with the children they are using their phonics mats to help them become independent learners. We have said the sentence, then wrote it , read it and checked it. It is great to see the children growing their brains and thinking for themselves.
Library Trip:
We loved our trip to the library on Tuesday, thank you for our adult helpers, we wouldn’t have been able to go if you didn’t help. I really appreciate it especially as it was very last minute. We hope you love your cards :). We listened to a story and chose our own books to take home.

National Internet Safety Day
Next Tuesday is National Internet Safety Day, we will focus on how we can stay safe online throughout the week. We will also be looking at age appropriateness of games and apps, it would be great if you can continue to have these discussions at home.

Reminders:
Monday afternoon is ENRICHMENT afternoon and this half term the children will be outside gardening with Mrs Hotchkiss, Mrs Mather and Mrs Krol. We need to dig over the raised beds, collect litter, chit potatoes and mulch! We will need an old pair of trousers and wellies/old trainers. We will get mucky
Polite reminder that all children across school should bring water in their bottles and not juice. This is something that we discuss regularly in school as part of our discussions about healthy snacks and healthy lunches.
