We are so proud of all of our Year 1 children this week. What an amazing show they put on for us all! We do hope you enjoyed it as much as we and they did. Not surprisingly we have some very sleepy children today.
This week we also enjoyed our Christmas lunch. It was very yummy and made us feel lovely and festive.
Even though we have had a super busy week we have still managed to fit in some other learning.
In Maths we have been continuing to learn about Subtraction / Taking-Away up to 20. This week we used objects to work out the answer. Some children worked out the answers in their head by counting backwards.
In RE this week, we learnt about the Christmas Story and next week, we are going to write our own story books about it. We are working hard to remember to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops in our sentences.
We have also been doing a Phonics check with the children to see if they can apply their knowledge of phase 2-5 sounds in their reading. We have been very impressed at their enthusiasm and how well they have been able to sound out and blend a variety of real and alien words.
The children all look amazingly festive today in their Christmas jumpers and as a school, we will have raised lots of money for Save the Children. Thank you for your generosity.
Thank you also for all your support with our Christmas Fayre and Christmas Show over the last week.
Have a restful weekend and we wish you all a wonderful Christmas holiday (when it arrives!)

Notices:
- Last week we put some spellings on the blog but it did not upload properly until Monday. As a result, we did not do a spelling test this week. We will do this at the beginning of next week instead to give you extra time to practise. They words to learn were: we, so, there, what.
- Please can we have all word bags back on Monday so that we can sort through them over the holidays. We will pop the trolley out on Monday morning for you to replace them. Thank you.
