We have finished off our work on 'What the Ladybird Heard' this week by creating "WANTED" posters for the two thieves. We had to think about what information we needed to include to make sure people know who to look out for....

We concluded the week with a Big Write, retelling the story. I was amazed to see how much the children remembered from the story and could rewrite, almost word for word!

We have been working on learning our number bonds to 10 this week in Year 1 - these are 2 numbers that add up to 10. 

One of the things we did to help us was to put 10 spots onto 2 mushrooms and then look at which 2 numbers worked together to make 10 altogether!

In Year 2 we have been practising adding and taking away (subtracting) in multiples of 10. This was tricky to start with so we used our Base 10 ('chips and peas') and 100 squares to help us, but by the end of the week we were all feeling much more confident and were attempting the hardest challenges Mrs Flynn set us!   

What a great growth mindset attitude Year 2!

Home Learning

Due Thursday 7th December.

Your Home Learning this week is to spend some time learning your lines for the Christmas play!

Begin by reading them through a few times quietly to yourself to get used to what the words say. Ask an adult to help if you need to.

Then read them out loud to someone else – remember to use a big, clear voice!

Once you are confident, try it without your script!

House points will be given next week to anyone who can come to rehearsals without their lines! 

*** NARRATORS – YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO HAVE YOUR WORDS IN FRONT OF YOU SO PLEASE DO NOT WORRY – PLEASE JUST PRACTICE SAYING THEM AS CLEARLY AND FLUENTLY AS YOU CAN! ***

Please also make sure you read your school reading book to an adult and get your reading journal signed.
