This week has seen us focusing on counting in 10’s in maths. We have been thinking about how 10 ones make 10, recognising patterns in the numbers and solving word problems.

In English the children are having great fun retelling and filming their stories using the story plan that they have been writing for the last few weeks. They have been able to remember the sequence and the twists and turns of their own narratives. Well done all!

In geography we have been thinking about maps and their uses and last week we made maps of the school in groups in the class. See map below!

This week we have been drawing our own individual maps. The children thought carefully about where the buildings would be and considered the ways in which they might be represented on their map.

Remember the Nativity next week. And thank you in advance for any volunteers that have offered to help on the walk to the Advent service on Tuesday!
