Enjoying Julia Donaldson's Stories

This week in English, we have been reading stories with repeated phrases. We read a lot of stories by Julia Donaldson and talked about how they are similar and different.
Then, we had a go at writing our own versions of Stick Man and The Gruffalo or Smartest Giant.




In maths, we have been doubling numbers.
Doubling means adding the same number twice. Harry
2 plus 2 makes 4. Indie
Double 8 is 16. Beatrice


We also learnt to identify odd and even numbers.
You can't share an odd number between two. Poppy
8 is an even number. Evie
8 is even because 4 is even and 8 is double 4. If you add 2 even numbers, I think the answer will be even. Grace
Grace went on to explore this in Learning through Play. We were really impressed with what she found out.


Our Home Learning this week is to go on a shape hunt.


Don't forget next Friday, 8th December, to come in and look at our books when you drop us off. We might even treat you to some Christmas songs! We will be finished by 9:15. It's also Christmas jumper day.


The Star Award this week is going to Ethan, for being so polite. Well done, Ethan!


Sam is our Learning Owl this week. He always tries his best and takes risks with his learning. He has also been a good buddy- helping others with their learning in maths and computing. Well done, Sam. Have a great weekend with Snowy.
