What a magical start to the week!
On Monday,
the children came into class to discover Father Christmas’ footprints and a
letter! In his letter he told us about how busy he is at the moment, how he is
excited to deliver presents, and how he will be coming to our Christmas Fayre.
He also wanted to know if the children had been kind, trying their best and
what presents they would like for Christmas. The children wrote some great
letters back to him using ‘because’ to explain why they wanted something. Some
children included a question for Father Christmas.
In Maths this week, we have started learning about
Subtraction. We discussed how when we subtract, or take-away, the number/amount
gets smaller. We solved subtraction number sentences by splatting snowballs!
For example, 10 – 4 = ? meant that the children made 10 snowballs, splatted 4
and counted how many were left to find the answer (6!).
Our challenges this week are Christmas-themed. The
children are making paper chains showing number bonds to 10, completing
Christmas word searches, making stockings and building Santa’s sleigh.
As you can imagine we have been super busy
practising for our Christmas show ‘Countdown to Christmas’. This week we have
been using our costumes, props, lighting and microphones! The children are very
excited to show you this next week.
Notices:
- Spellings for next week are: we, so,
there, what
- We will shortly be sending home a little spelling report to let you know how your child has got on with their spellings this half term and any words that may need further practice.
