Week Beginning 3rd and 10th December

Wow - didn't the children do well last week in their nativity performances! They really rose to the challenge of performing to an audience and the audiences seemed to enjoy the show. Thank you to those of you who came to watch - the children are continuing to sing the nativity songs in class which is really lovely!

This week we have been doing lots of Christmas activities - the children had a vote to decide what Christmas things they wanted to make. They have made reindeer shortbread, salt dough decorations, Christmas tree decorations, Santa face paper plates and lots of Christmas painting and colouring. They will be bringing things home over the next few days. They have really enjoyed getting creative for Christmas!

We have been working with each child to assess their maths skills. We have also been revising counting skills and we have introduced adding two groups together.

We have been writing sentences independently and trying to get the children to hear the beginning sound of the words they are writing.

Today we are sending home some work for the holidays - there is a Christmas big talk sheet, also a letter formation practice booklet and of course there is a sound game/blend game or a reading book to work on - if the children could do a little bit every day that would be brilliant. It is really helpful that they continue practising these skills as otherwise it will be really difficult when they come back in January.

Have a good week!
