I was so impressed that some of the children will transferring their knowledge from their spelling and identifying common words in their reading books, well done!!

We designed new front covers for our books and thanks to Georgia for suggesting to display them around our fireplace in the reading corner, they look amazing!!

In maths, we have revised our knowledge of time and money and discussed how we use these skills in our everyday lives.

All the children have completed a health and well-being questionnaire and next week, we will look at different emotions and feelings through emotional literacy, using a book called ‘The colour monster.’

Outdoor learning with Mrs Dobbie takes place on a Friday and can you please send your child to school with sensible clothing and appropriate footwear (wellington boots), many thanks with your help in this matter.
