Friday 12th December 2014 Our News! We hope you all enjoyed the performance of The Gigantic Star. All the children performed brilliantly and were so excited to share it with all of their families! Thank you for coming to watch them. We are now looking forward to the Carol Service on Tuesday. The children have enjoyed sharing and chatting with their friends about how they celebrate Christmas at home with their families. They have discovered that some families celebrate in the same or different ways to themselves. They have enjoyed listening to and watching different versions of the very first Christmas story and have been retelling and ordering the Nativity story in their own words. The children have had lots of opportunities for reading and writing. We have been busy writing in our Christmas cards, on our calendars and writing our news. We enjoyed reading The Jolly Postman and have had great fun outside pretending to be the postman, using the bikes to deliver the right letters to each of the characters from the story. We have learnt all about the role of the postman/woman and the journey that a letter takes to be delivered. The children can now bring in their own Christmas cards to sort and deliver to their friends. Next week we will be writing our letters to Father Christmas. In Mathematics we have been finding the total of two amounts by counting them altogether. We have been practising saying the number sentences and using different vocabulary for adding. Some of us have had a go at writing our number sentences using the correct symbols! We have been very busy creating our calendars, Christmas cards and decorations. We hope you like them!
