The children have had a great week back and clearly had a lovely relaxing half term- just what they needed.

This week we have been focussing on the story The Scarecrows Wedding where the children drew pictures (or cut them out) to label a list of items the characters needed in the story for their wedding. We also looked at weddings- understanding they are a special sacrament.

In Maths we looked at the number 4 and different ways we can make the number- e.g. 1 and 3 and 2 and 2. These skills of how the numbers are made up are imperative for the children’s learning to understand the composition of numbers and not just how to count. We have also started to look at subitising numbers- seeing an amount without needing to count it.

The children have also been writing letters to post in the class post-box, painting pumpkins and exploring with conkers, to name a few.

Have a lovely weekend.
