Welcome back!

I hope you all had a lovely half term and have lots of exciting news to share.
This term our topic is Light and dark, so we will be doing lots of different activities to investigate different light sources and think about why we need light.
 In Literacy we will be looking closely at traditional tales, focusing on the Gingerbread man and Hansel & Gretel. Our main focus in Literacy this term is to work on writing our sentences independently.

The maths KIRF (Key Instant Recall Facts) this term is for you to learn the days of the week, months of the year and the seasons within the year.
Here are a few websites that might help you learn these:

Also, please keep learning your number bonds to 5 and then to 10, as these are really important to know. Useful websites for learning these include:

We had amazing first term and I am sure this term will be even better!

Thank you

We have had such a busy few weeks!

We have been extremely busy at school over the last few weeks. Here are just a few things we have been up to:

- We explored all the physical features around Selby on our walk and even had time to pop into the greengrocers where Miss Waterworth and Mrs O'Neil treated us to a piece of fruit each. On our walk we found one of Prince Pug's friends called Sherlock who had got lost, we are going to make him a map of Selby so he doesn't get lost again.

- We took part in the Harvest festival and showed off our amazing fruit and vegetable mobiles.

- In our DT lessons we had lots of fun making some yummy fruit kebabs.

- In Literacy we have been looking at Peace at Last and spent some time showing off our acting and drama skills to retell the story.

- Over the last term we have been learning about different insects in French and in PE we played different games where we had to move like the different insects, which was very funny to watch.


It has been a fantastic first half term filled with lots of fun and learning.
