NURSERY

This week in nursery we shall be continuing our theme on mini beasts and life cycles. We will be exploring how the spider makes its web and how they live within the environment.  During our Forest School this will be a great opportunity to go on a bug hunt and using our story of The Very busy spider to support our learning. 

RECEPTION

This week in Reception we are continuing to learn the life cycle of a duck whilst reading the Ugly Ducking. We will be retelling the story through talk, story maps and even having a go at writing it. In Maths we are learning about doubling and will be using lots of different methods to double! 

YEAR 1

This week in literacy we are finishing Lila and the Secret of Rain, writing a conversation between Lila and her mum and making up our own blurb. In maths we are working on doing multiplication as repeated addition. We are also introducing division as sharing or grouping. PLEASE SEND IN A PHOTO OF YOUR CHILD AS A BABY BY FRIDAY. thanks in advance!

YEAR 2

Writing:

In English this week, we will be finishing our book 'Greta and the Giants and we will continue to focus on using our conjunctions to extend our main clauses. This week our writing outcome will be to write a letter as the Giants back to Greta. We were so impressed with the work produced last week so we are even more excited for this week. 

Maths: 

In Maths this week, we will be recapping subtraction using our dienes before moving onto new learning! By the end of the week, we hope that the children will be successful in bridging when subtracting e.g 42 - 17 = __. Again, the children blew us away with how quick they picked up bridging when adding so we're hoping for another successful week. 

A reminder that this week is Key Stage 1 Parents Evening! We look forward to catching up with you all!
