Hello,
Well this week we have been learning about Chinese New year or the Lunar New Year.
This year is it celebrated on the 22nd January this year when the new moon appears.
Lots of our activities and vocabulary this week has been around this topic.
Thank you to those parents who attempted the 1 minute speedy reading challenge.
What a massive difference is has made to your child's reading.
If you don't have time to read the whole book/sheet just 1 minute a day reading the speedy words with your child will make an enormous difference.
In maths we have been matching amount to symbols of 1 2 3 4 5 and writing our numeral correctly.
Next week we are looking at weight, length, size and capacity so get baking and measuring!
Bigger than smaller than
Taller than...

Well done to all the children for reciting 8 Nursery Rhyme's for this weeks challenge.
We have focussed our learning on Humpty Dumpty in particular this week.
Looking at the rhyme and re-telling it like a story.
We also looked at the make up of an egg.
The white and yolk and watched how when cooked it completely changed and can appear very different.
We also talked about how eggs are used in cooking to make lots of other foods such as cakes, custard, pancakes, quiches and many more.
We made little 3D Humpty Dumpty's out of newspaper paper and pipe cleaners, painted them and sat them on a wall in the classroom.
In our Maths work we are working out all the different ways to may 3,4, 5 and recording this in our own way.
We are using our subitising skills to work it out as this has to be instant recall.
Another great week.
Next week will be learning about Chinese New Year or the Lunar Year.
