Practical Addition
We have introduced the concept of addition this week as part of our remote learning. The children have blown us away with their response to finding everyday objects to group and add together, finding the total.
Just look at this super work.

As a remote learning task and as part of our 'Robot's' topic, the children were asked to make a missing poster as a response to reading 'No-Bot...The Robot with no Bottom'.

The children were captivated when presented with objects from the past. They were given the challenge of guessing what artefacts may have been used for and thought some of the artefacts were hilarious!
Ask your child if they can tell you about them at home.

In Maths this week we are thinking about patterns of shapes and numbers and how these can be repeated in a sequence. The children are encouraged to practise skills taught in their independent learning.

It was lovely to see so many children fully equipped with their outdoor P.E kit this week. As the weather is becoming increasingly cold and our physical learning is outdoors, it is important our children are warm and prepared.
It is also great practise to develop their skill of getting dressed…

As part of Remembrance Day, we invited Mr Powell, a LSA in school, to talk to the children about his time serving in Iraq and Afganastan. We are so lucky to hear first hand about what it is like to be a soldier and what it involves.
We will be observing a two minutes silence at 11am to mark…

We had our first session of P.E with Josh from Fleetwood Town. The children loved playing team games with an element of competition, moving in different ways and negotiating pathways. Josh will be in each Tuesday for the remainder of the term.
