What a full week we have had and to top that the weather has been wintery!
We started the week with our fantastic visitor, Harley's Mum who is a police officer and told us all about her job and her uniform.
In mathematics we have been looking deeply into numbers within number up to 5.
In phonics we have been continuing our rhyming strings bringing confidence to the children with their first writing.
Outside we have been looking at changes in the environment and ice and snow and floating and sinking.
We have taken all the children finger prints and they have been writing their names.
Here are a few highlights.

It's been another week of learning about people who help us in our community.
We would like to thank Lyle's Dad who came in last Friday to talk to us about being a fire fighter.
All the children had fun trying on the helmet.
Vocab words this week were: Cavity Decay Brush
Please encourage your child to practising writing their name but don't let them copy it or else they won't be able to do it independently on the sign in sheet on a morning.
This week we have been learning a lot about why we need to look after our teeth.
How, we look after our teeth by brushing twice a day and the importance of visiting the dentist.
We also talked about visiting the opticians to test our eye sight to see if we need to wear glasses.
Both these NHS practices are free up to the age of 18.
Please record once a week in your child's reading record which should be left in their bag with thier reading sheets all week.
Please tell us know how they did by writing a comment such as|: Read it well, found it tricky, got it after a few days.
We change the sheets/books every Monday so they both need to in their bags.
In mathematics we looked at properties of shapes such as triangles and circles. How many side and edges. Slides have to be straight so a circle has one curved edge.
We also talked about how to be a good friend for 'Anti Bullying' week and how to work as a team.
Friday we thought about why we are raising money for 'Children in Need'
Thank you for your support at home,
