Welcome back - I hope everyone had a wonderful half term break. The children certainly have been busy. They all had a chance to share some news and ask one another questions about their week, on Monday morning. 

This week, we have...

• practiced out nativity songs
• worked out additions within 20
• created word banks of verbs and used them in sentences
• described the Giant from our story - he is a lonely, but friendly giant who likes cooking for Jack!
• learnt how to shade from light to dark in our art lesson
• been introduced to My Happy Mind, by Mrs Weston, and completed our first MyHappy Mind lesson in class
• found lots of ways to make 6 using our Rekenreks
• created a key for our maps and created our own town maps
• had a workshop with the Dogs Trust and learnt all about dogs
• worked really hard with our handwriting in our new morning challenge books

This morning, we joined Year 1 and Reception for a firework treat morning. We completed lots of activities such as firework dancing, firework music, firework art and firework movement poems.
