Welcome to the New Year and the Spring Term.
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year and we all thank you for your gifts.
This half term we are retelling many of the 'Traditional Tales' and learning the old 'Nursery Rhymes'.
This is important for the children's learning to explore the traditional tales keeping alive their heritage and culture and investigating why many of the tales are about farm animals where the 'baddy' in the stories are foxes or wolves.
This week has been Winter Wonder Land. Here are a few highlights:
Here is our poems wall where we will be learning these six poems this term.
This week of course was 'The Snowman'
Let's now celebrate how well your children have returned to school this week and those online.

WOW!
We are still feeling so proud of all the children for their performance on Monday.
It was lovely to see so many of you watching them and I know they made you all very proud.
They showed maturity, resilience and confidence performing to a full audience.
We have tried to keep the rest of this week as 'normal' as possible showing the children on our calendar that Christmas is a few weeks away yet.
We have been moving and dancing every day to the www.activeadvent.fun from imoves advent calendar which you can do at home for free. It is a 3 minute work out every day for the children which they all have been enjoying.
There favourite is the 2nd December so far which you can go back to.
Below are a few of our activities this week.
I have added a class photo of the children dressed up in their Nativity out onto MICROSOFT TEAM as it is a secure site.
Thank you for your continued support,

Well another busy week looking at the jobs Police Officers do in our community and the work of the RNLI.
We played hide and seek in the woods!
What fun we had trying to find each other, like real detectives.
Linking with the RLNI we investigated and predicted from a selection of objects which ones floated and which ones sank.
We also painted sea pictures and added our own sailing ships using shapes which we cut from circles and squares.
We have begun to look at the number 4/5 and different ways we can make this amount. 3 and 1 2 and 2 4 and 0 5 and 1..........
We then used our 5 frames outside and filled them.
How many in a full 5 frame?..... 5.
One less?....4
Thank you for your support with the Christmas play.
We are in full flow of our rehearsals.
See you on the 6th December 2.15pm. Two places per family, no tickets given out just a sign in register at the door.
It is being record and put onto MICROSOFT TEAMS for those that cant make it. (secure sight for just yourselves)
