HO HO HO!


This week we begin our Christmas topic! Today the children were shown the key question that we'll be thinking about: Why do we celebrate Christmas? The children had some fantastic ideas about this question, and we'll be looking at lots of their suggestions. 
In maths we are looking at length and the language that is used when talking about length. If you're putting up your tree, have a look at the tinsel and the different lengths it can be. Feel free to bring it in on a Wow! Moment. 
We got a letter from Father Christmas today asking us to write him our Christmas lists ready for Christmas, so we're going to be looking at writing lists and full sentences too!
Another thing we have started at the end of the day is  to ask children what they have learnt today. We would appreciate any support with this, to get children to think about their learning. From this we will be telling children their next steps for learning.  
Finally, we're going to put up a list (outside reception door) for any parents that would like a copy of the video that was made and shown in the class assembly last Friday. Please feel free to pop your name on the list!
