What a fantastic last week we have had, Kingfishers! You have all worked really hard and I'm very proud of the work we have accomplished this week!

Maths

In our Maths learning this week, we started by looking at what a number line was. We looked at how we can use a number line to help solve problems. On Thursday, we started our unit on addition and subtraction. We started by looking at what parts were and what wholes were. Parts are another way of saying groups. We found out that parts together make a whole. We learned about how we can use the part-whole model to add amounts together. See if you can work out the parts and wholes of the problems below. 

English

In our English learning this week, we have been learning to use time conjunctions in our writing. We looked at what order the animals entered on the train and used the conjunctions 'first', 'next' and 'then' in our writing. 

The children have also been creating stories based off the story of Oi! Get off our train! The children imagined themselves in the story, and we innovated the train to be a different mode of transport. We also talked about what animal would come on their transport. The children all produced amazing stories and I am so proud of their writing. Their writing can be found in our writing gallery. 

Christmas Production

I have sent out a letter confirming information regarding our KS1 Christmas Nativity. We are very excited to announce that KS1 will be performing "Baarmy Bethlehem" on Thursday 10th December. Please see more details in the letter below.

Have a lovely half term!
