Last week we embraced Autumn and the excitement of Halloween. We explored what happens during the season of Autumn and some of the treasures we find when out and about. We used some of these natural loose parts to make potions in our cauldron which became a superb spot for discussion between the children.

We moved our bodies in PE to music taking on the roles of zombies, spiders, bats and ghosts and used these characters to play some fun games.

We are developing our reading and writing skills nicely, now taking our time to sound out words as we read and write. We have started looking at sentence structure and creating simple sentences using some tricky words and by sounding out the rest.

We have practised doubling numbers to ten using ladybug spots to help as a visual and have been adding other numbers together within ten using the plus and equals sign.

Hopefully technical problems will be kept to a minimum from now on.

Many thanks

Mrs Denholm
