Welcome back. I hope everyone had a restful October Holiday. It was lovely to see the children again and listen to all of their news.

This week we have began addition to 10 in Maths and the children are really enjoying exploring this new concept with practical activities. Practise of adding at home would be very helpful.

In Literacy we have continued learning new sounds and reading some new 3 letter words.

This week the children learned about some of the most well known jobs within our community to tie in with our new topic, People Who Help Us. They are now familiar with the job of a paramedic, mountain rescue as well as doctors, police officers and fire fighters. We will be looking at these roles in more detail as the weeks go on.

This week our Star Writers are Gracie and Josh for their super work writing their news. Our Maths Stars this week are Mia and Murdo for completing an addition to 10 task with accuracy and a great deal of confidence. Well done!

Next Friday 2nd November is Learning Outdoors Day. I would ask that the children come to school that day dressed for the weather as we will be spending some of our day learning outside.
