This Term’s topic: Polar Explorers Week beginning 26th November

Last week the children enjoyed looking round and sitting in a lorry while learning about road safety.  They also enjoyed our cinema morning watching Sherlock Gnomes and had popcorn and juice as a treat!  This week we will be finishing our letters to Santa and consolidating our work on number and place value through problem solving in maths.

Please ensure all children have a water bottle in school daily to keep them hydrated.

This week we will be writing about Santa in English and revisiting place value and numbers in maths.  On Thursday we will be visiting the cinema.
