Apple Class 13.11.26

Reception

This week, the children have been doing some acting and role-play based on the story Chicken Licken. They thoroughly enjoyed creating their own farm and did an excellent job working together. In maths, they have been exploring numbers 1–5 in different ways, and I am so impressed with their counting skills!

Year 1 and Year 2

We were introduced to an exciting new book, A Journey Home. We had a mystery creature visit the classroom and had lots of fun trying to identify what it was. The children used their writing skills to create 'Missing' posters, and everyone was really engaged.

In maths, we have continued learning about place value and have been using Dienes blocks to partition numbers. In science, we had lots of fun going into a dark cupboard to investigate reflection—the children found it very exciting and made some excellent predictions. They have all worked super hard this week!

Nativity Update

Alongside all of this, rehearsals for our nativity, Whoops-a-Daisy Angel, are now up and running! Some of the children have singing parts, some have dancing parts, and some have speaking parts to learn. As I have explained to the children, every single role is equally important. It is all very exciting!

Year 1 and Year 2 will be bringing their lines home to practise this weekend. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a fantastic weekend!
