We have been exploring our class reader called Ottoline and the Yellow Cat, but we have not got very far as the illustrations have so much in them to talk about. The children are being reading detectives looking for clues to the mystery and asking lots of questions. We had a go at some drama too, exploring what might happen next in the story.

The children are really progressing well with their knitting and some have even tried finger knitting and weaving this week. We have had  a mum volunteering to support the children’s efforts which has been fantastic. If you want to help please let the school know.

In maths this week we have begun work on equivalent fractions and will continue to revisit their knowledge of angles during our mapwork in outdoor classroom lessons.

During writing the children have been revisiting openings of sentences and developing their vocabulary.

We have also taken the first step in exploring emotions, behaviour and our thinking. The children have been talking about how our brain works and what it does.
