The coming week...


Hello everyone,

This week is going to be a very busy week for all of us, with lots to do every day! Please don't be surprised if children say that they are tired! We're rehearsing our Christmas play on Monday morning so the children will be showing how well they can sing our Christmas songs. We will continue practising throughout the week. Hopefully you should have received a letter on Friday about bringing in a plain black T-shirt for use in the Christmas show. This doesn't have to be in for practising our show but please feel free to start bringing them in. We would appreciate it if you could put it in a bag with a name on - we can provide sticky labels if needed. 
In literacy we will be looking at the different people associated with Christmas: Father Christmas, elves, reindeer etc. We will be making character profiles for some of these people and thinking about hypothetical questions i.e. how old do you think Santa is? What is an elves favourite food? 
In maths we are going to be matching different objects up and begin to look at adding two groups of items together. Counting in 2's will come from this. 
In phonics we will be learning no new sounds but will instead be consolidating and reinforcing previously learnt sounds in different contexts. 

On Friday the whole school will be having a Technology Day - this is an off-timetable day where all the children choose different workshops in different classrooms. We will be outlining each workshop to the children before they choose. Friday is also the day where we will be showing the festive headgear that it outlined in a separate blog post.
