• We have been learning about St Barbara, St Nicholas, St Andrew and how Advent started in the Catholic Church. We know that the purple candles on the Advent Wreath are for Hope, Love, Peace and the Pink one is for Joy
• We have been learning about descriptions and question marks, we were practising the formation of the question mark and we know now when we need to use ‘?’ or ‘.’
• We wrote a description about Goldilocks from the story ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’.
• We were learning how to tell the time using half past and o’clock, quarter to and quarter past. We know that a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes. We were practising this using the smartboard, laptops and worksheets.
• We were practising common words e.g. over, little, know, sound etc. some of us were using bubble writing and some of us were using rainbow writing.
• On Monday, a special guest appeared in our class! We have chosen the name Chippy for the Elf and he has recently done some very funny thing in our classroom. We love to have him in our class.
• We also had good fun using the Rekenrek, we were learning about the most effective strategy (which this time was the doubling strategy) and how to use it.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Koziel
