Firework Dance

In dance over the last few weeks we have been working on a firework dance.  It has been great fun! There area few sections to the dance which, hopefully, the children will be able to explain to you.  Just in case they need a bit of prompting, let me give you a quick summary.  The first section is the bonfire which sets alight culminating in sparks flying! After that, the children become Catherine wheels, and then rockets racing and exploding around the room.  This is followed by beautiful sparklers and roman candles.  Finally, the flames die out! 

In literacy we have been learning about recounts and how they need to be in the right order.  They also contain time words and phrases like then, after that, next, finally.  

We have ordered the things they do in the morning and the school day. Their writing is coming on so well.

In maths, we have been working on halving shapes and quantities.  They need to know that in order to halve, they have to share into two piles and that each half should be exactly the same size or amount.

We are fast approaching that time of year when we start learning our songs and practising for the Christmas Nativity.  We will send out a parent mail notice about what costumes they will need.  We are going to be shepherds hurrying down the hillside and 1CR are going to be market stall holders trying to sell their wares.
