We hope you had a lovely half term with your families and friends. This is a very exciting term with the lead up to Christmas, the children have so many nice art activities planned which we are sure they will love to show you at Christmas time. Along with this we shall be looking at the following texts: Gingerbread Man, Handa's Surprise and How the Grinch stole Christmas. In Maths we shall be continuing to work on our addition and subtraction skills.

Maths

In maths this week the children have been learning how to add numbers across ten. They have used their number bonds knowledge to count on to the next ten and then counted the extra ones.

Yoga!

In PE this week, we started our yoga sessions. We then under the ocean and practised different yoga poses including the dolphin, turtle, starfish and boat. We found out the importance of breathing and tensing our muscles to help us to balance. 

Design Technology

In Design Technology this week we looked at a range of vegetables. We used our senses to describe their appearance, smell and texture. We then talked about the different parts of the fruit and vegetable we eat and sorted them into flower, stem and root. This is in preparation for us to design and make our own healthy soup.

The children visited the school library tis week. They loved choosing different books and reading them with a friend. The children loved the books so much that they took some back to read in the classroom.
