A new week!


Hello everyone,

Hopefully you will have all read the letter that went home on Friday regarding receptions trip to the beach on 5th February. If anyone is available to help with the trip please come and tell one of us. The more the merrier. 
Also, whilst we are grateful for all the 2l bottles we have received so far, we still need more! Our target is 1500 and so far we have about 100. Still a ways to go. Thank you as well to parents that brought in some materials for junk modelling; any more would be welcome. 

This week we will be building upon the Chinese New Year story with finding out about China. If you get the chance to look at a world map please do so. We'll be thinking about how far away China is and some of the different lifestyles that exist there. The website below is good for letting children see how one place can be light and another dark. 
We will also be looking at some traditions and customs that take place in China. This week children will get the opportunity to write fortunes that will go into a fortune cookie as well as explore Chinese numbers. In maths we are looking at capacity, more specifically how we might order capacities from smallest to largest. We'll be thinking about how containers can be shaped differently but still have the same capacity.
