Starry Night

We have carried on with our learning about stars this week.
We used pastels to add to the pictures we have started. In English, we had a go at writing our own star poems. We did an acrostic poem first.
An acrostic poem is when you write the word down the edge of your page and each line has to start with that letter. Sam
We then wrote some different poems and we were challenged to edit our work.
You can change and add things. Thomas
To make it even better. Ben


In creative writing, we used all of our learning over the past 2 weeks to write another poem or a story about stars. We all worked really hard and used ideas from what we have read. Daisy's story was amazing - you will be able to read it on the website next week!


In maths, we have been working out how many tens and ones are in a number.  We made numbers to 20- on the tens frames and then found one more or fewer. We talked about what we could see.
"1 less than 17 is 16. 1 more than 17 is 18"


We've had great fun decorating the Christmas tree today. From Monday, we can start bringing in Christmas cards to put in the postbox. They need to have the class written on the envelope please.


On Tuesday, we are going to Woodlands... We need our wellie boots and an all in one (if you have one. We have plenty in school, so don't worry if you don't) A hat, scarf and gloves would also be good!


This week's Star Award went to someone who is an amazing friend. Poppy is so kind and caring, she helps her friends to sort things out too. Well done, Poppy.


Lyla is our Learning Owl this week. She is very resilient - she keeps on going, even when it's tricky. She listens well and works independently when she is asked to. Well done, Lyla. Have a great weekend with Snowy.
