This week we have been doing some work on dinosaurs: considering if they are alive today, introducing the word ‘extinct’ and thinking about whether there were any people around at the time of the dinosaurs. The children were able to answer and ask lots of interesting questions. The teachers had found bones in their gardens… where had they come from? See if your child can tell you about it!

We have been writing to Harry about how to look after his dinosaurs his week, orally rehearsing the sentence before we write and using our ‘Kung-Fu’ punctuation to remind us about full stops and capital letters. In maths we have been looking at the sequence of numbers as well as one more and one less than a number.

We have started to get the children logged on at school to use their sumdog subscription. Please do take the time to look at this with your child. For those of you who have tried and found some issues with the level of questioning … please try again… we hope that these issues have been resolved!

Have a good weekend
