English: This week Yellow and Green group have been working on their RWI books. Blue and Red group have been working independently on the story ‘The Jolly Postman’. They have written a letter to Goldilocks as Baby Bear, made a new poster for the Wicked Witch advertising witch supplies and written a postcard like the one in the story from Jack and the Beanstalk. The children have also learned how to change a verb to past tense by adding the suffix ‘ed’.

Maths: This week the children have been learning about 3D shapes (cubes, cuboids, cylinders, cones, spheres and pyramids). We have been looking at the shapes of their faces, their edges and vertices (corners).

D&T: The children made a wheel mechanism in D&T, this was to change the size of the wolf in the story Little Red Riding Hood – as they spin the wheel, the wolf grew in size.

RE: Class 2 have been thinking about the question ‘Why is Christmas important to Christians?’ and had a great class discussion. They have also been acting out parts of the Nativity story.

Nativity: Just a reminder that costumes for the Nativity are due in on Monday. If you need any support with supplying an outfit, please do not hesitate in coming to see me. Please could the children’s costumes be handed in, in a clearly labelled bag. Thank you!

English: This week the children have been continuing our routine with RWI. Two groups have been reading their RWI books and writing about it whilst the other two groups have been independently working on the story ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. The children have also been learning how to add ‘ing’ to a verb and using these in sentences and today focused on adding ‘s’ to a word to change it from singular to plural e.g. one cat – two cats.

Maths: We have been looking at 2D shapes this week. The children have been learning how to identify circles, squares, oblongs and triangles and what properties these shapes have. They have also been identifying these shapes in everyday life e.g. our doors are oblong and the clock in the classroom is a circle.

Science: We had lots of fun on Tuesday walking around Bicton village finding things that remind us of Autumn. The children found lots of lovely, colourful leaves, berries, etc and put these in the middle of the table to inspire their creative writing. The children used lots of lovely adjectives to describe their findings.

Spellings: To be tested Friday 1st December 2017.
