Don't forget...our Christmas concert is on Friday 16th at 1.15. (That is a 10 minute change to the original time, just to give the classes a chance to come in from yard.) The concert will be on in the hall. If you could please enter the hall from the 2nd class yard. The children have been practicing hard and we are still learning some new songs. They were full of energy and enthusiasm today for the concert and can't wait for you all to see them in action.
We have been having lots of fun doing art for Christmas. You might have seen the lovely links that we glued together in a 3 colour pattern. They are decorating the ceiling. We decorated a picture of a Christmas tree, using marbles rolling through paint and then we cut out the tree ourselves. What a challenge! It was definitely the hardest thing we have cut out in school and the children did really well. They even put presents under the tree!

We have been rhyming lots of words, especially our names and seeing what funny words we can make up. Rhyming is a great pre-reading skill to have. It will help when reading word families and speeds up reading. This is a great game on BBC Bitesize for rhyming words. They will need someone to read the words out for them. www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks1/literacy/rhyming_words/play/
We have been working on shapes in maths, especially circles and squares. In the mornings, we also took turns doing the shape and colour matching buttons. Here is a mixture of photos from morning activities and golden time.
