Welcome back after our Spring break.
We have started this term discovering many ofl the traditions of the Muslim Festival of Ramadan and Eid.
We found out that there are many similarities with other religious festival such as, decorating houses, putting on smart clothes, receiving gifts, giving to charity and eating a meal with our family and friends.
We invited Ibrahim's Mum in to talk about the Muslim Faith and all about Eid and the Five Pillars of Islam and showed us how to pray on the prayer mats.
In number work we have been adding two numbers together using are calculation method called conceptual subitising (no counting we now can see the patterns in our heads) Wow! I was very proud.
Don't forget the White Rose Free app you can download with short mental math's games your child can have a go at..
We have been thinking of kindness this week and what we need to do to be a kind friend.
In our music class we have been singing a song about under the water.
Here are a few highlights.

In math's we are looking at number to 9 and 10.
We are looking at number facts to 9.
All the ways to make 9 there may be more than two ways such as 3 3 3 = 9. We use real objects to do this.
Number bonds to 10 this is two number which add together to make 10. Quiz them on this if they are unsure get the 10 frame out.
This quick calculation will help them in the future.
