Reduce, reuse, recycle


Hello again.  Our learning question this term ‘Is trash really treasure?’  has got off to a great start.  We have set up our own Recycling Centres and the children are busy sorting materials and thinking about how they can be reused. 

If you have any small cardboard containers, packets, wrappings, old make up applicators, sponges, foil, or anything else you think the children might be able to use to make things, please bring them in.  

In literacy we have been looking at stories with repeated language.  You might like to ask them to tell you the story of ‘Can’t you Sleep Little Bear?’  We will be going on to writing recounts and making sure we have got everything in the right order. 

In maths the children have really impressed us with their doubling.  We need them to be able to quickly double numbers so please practise this at home.  Start with numbers up to ten.  We will be doing lots of counting in twos, fives and tens over the next few weeks as introduction to the concept of multiplication. 

This term we will also be preparing for our Christmas performance.  The children will need costumes but we will let you know exactly what, closer to the time.
