Maths

We have finished our unit on Place Value and have moved on to Addition and Subtraction. This week, we have been learning about parts and wholes in a group.

Geography

We have been looking at the seasons. We learnt that there are four seasons in the year and we are currently in autumn. The children really enjoyed going on a scavenger hunt to find signs of autumn. We definitely found LOTS of leaves!

We discussed what the weather is like in autumn and used our very own weather station and the internet to record the weather conditions this week.

Diwali

In our RE lesson this week, we learnt about how some families celebrate Diwali. The children enjoyed creating Rangoli patterns.

Temple Newsam

To support our history topic next half term, we are going to Temple Newsam to take part in a Great Fire of London workshop. Thank you to everyone who has offered to help. We are doing a pre-visit next week and then we will confirm how many helpers we need.

Boxes!

Could you please save boxes for a DT project that we will be doing next half-term? Shoe boxes and cereal boxes would be great. (Please don’t send in any boxes that have contained nuts.)

Homework

There is no set homework for the holidays. Please keep hearing your child read regularly and write comments in their reading records.

Have a lovely half-term holiday.
