We have been playing with the farm animals outside. Irsa carefully counted the pigs in the pigsty! She counted independently all the way to five, with good one-to-one correspondence. Good counting, Irsa!

A very busy week in Reception class this week! We have welcomed our new starters and all of the children are learning names and making new friends. We have enjoyed creative curriculum on Wednesday which includes PE in the hall, Music and Forest School with Diane - searching for bugs and exploring the area. We set up a 'lunch hall' in the classroom, which all of the children lined up to play with! We are remembering our please, thank you's and trying our best to use cutlery when eating lunch. Please encourage your children at home too! Well done for a wonderful week Reception and see you all in for whole days next week.

This week in Year 2 we started learning about different materials in Science. The children engaged in a materials hunt around the school and found that metal, wood, rubber, glass, paper and different fabrics are used to make many objects that we use in our everyday life. We then started discussing the properties of different materials.

In Maths, we have been working hard on our tens and ones again. We are also learning how to write our numbers in numerals and word form. We have worked so hard, well done Y2 keep up the great work!

This week our first achievement award goes to Georgie for her excellent knowledge of the properties of different materials.
