I hope that you all had a good half term.

After a lovely beginning to the school year with your children, I am looking forward to next half term, when our projects are Elmer’s World and Christmas. Elmer’s World has a maths focus to it and we will be finding out and learning all about shapes and patterns. I attach the half term overview so that you can see our learning in other areas of the curriculum.

This week we will be doing lots of work centered around the book ‘Walking in the Jungle’. I am hoping that we will visit Druitt Gardens this week, to look at the Autumn shapes, colours and patterns and to do our own version of ‘Walking in Druitt Gardens’ – weather permitting!

This term sees the start of our Maths Challenges, which I will attach below. If you would like to do these with your child, it will support our learning in class.

We will continue to check your child’s words every week, so if the yellow reading record book could come into school each day, I would be grateful.

If you have any questions, please do come and see me.
