Maths and numeracy

We have been taking part in National assessments.

We continued to explore time and reading clocks.

Key vocabulary included; the days of the week, tomorrow, yesterday, morning, afternoon, evening, clock face, hands, o’clock.

Other areas of the curriculum

We had a great visit from the team at Generation Science. We really enjoyed learning about sound.

We learned a little about the Brass instruments of the orchestra. Mrs Cross showed us her trumpet and told us how it works. We enjoyed using a clean mouthpiece to try making a sound.

In PE we worked on our fitness and team work.

We take turns to lead our warm up.

A reminder to please name all items of clothing and shoes, and to check names on items brought home in case your child accidentally acquires a jumper belonging to someone else.
