Welcome back!


Hello everyone,

Lovely to see everyone today! Some fantastic home learning going on over the half-term break so thank you very much for bringing this all in. This week is a bit of a unique week as we're looking at 'The Gambia'. We'll only be doing this for a week but every year as your child goes through the school their knowledge will be added to with different tasks and activities. The book that we'll be centering this week round is 'Fatou, Fetch the Water' by Neil Griffiths. This story is based upon a real child and we'll be finding out about what living in The Gambia is like and what children experience there. We'll also be having a wider look at Africa as a continent and some of the wildlife that can be found there. 
In maths this week we'll be continuing to learn about adding 2 numbers together. This will be increasing to go over 10. We'll be encouraging children to use real objects and number lines to help them.

Finally, next week we will be having a whole-school Eco themed week. On Monday children will be moving around the school to try a whole host of activities. If anyone is available on Monday and would like to help in reception please let us know.
