In mathematics, we have started the new year by looking at money. The children have learnt to count in both pounds and pence, as well as exploring different ways of making the same amount. Now is the time to empty the piggy banks and purses and let your child play with money and investigate different ways of making totals (possibly a historical lesson in itself!).
In English over the next 2 weeks, we will be basing our learning on the story ‘The Whales’ Song’ by Dyan Sheldon, beautifully illustrated by Gary Blythe. The children have loved reading this magical tale and are getting prepared to write a diary entry as if they were the main character, Lilly.
In RE this half term, we will be learning all about Judaism – beliefs, traditions, festivals, symbols and celebrations.
The children have settled beautifully back to life in class after the long Christmas break. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
