It’s Christmas

Friday 17 December 2021

Christmas spirit has definitively been in full swing this week!

In Literacy, we have been reading the Christmas story. This has deepened our knowledge of how people celebrate traditions and special times.

The wise men followed the star.

Baby Jesus was born.

There were shepherds. They look after the sheep.

In Maths, we have used part, whole models to partition numbers up to five. We created number stories and represented them in a part whole model.

In Phonics, we have focused on reading words.

We have all enjoyed the Christmas themed areas. There has been dressing up, playing in fake snow, creating candy canes and many more. Just take a look…

We had a special visit from Professor Myers. She had a very special Christmas investigation for us.

How strong is a candy cane?

First, we made predictions. Then, we tested them out using lots of objects around the classroom.

We had an exciting video to watch. It was Santa! He had been in our classroom whilst we were all at home. Santa left a sack full of presents for us to share.

 

 

Our last day has been full of dancing and fun (and a little bit of sugar).

 

 

 

 

 

Have a wonderful Christmas break. We look forward to seeing you all in the new year.

 

We have sent home your child’s change of clothes to check and restock for next half term.
