What a busy week we have had! Wednesday was a complete success with a Carol Service at the Church, back to school for a Christmas Dinner and then a disco, all on one day. Well done everyone!
All the children have finished their story books and are really proud of their results. You will have a chance to see them at the next parent’s evening. We will start a new topic after Christmas which will build on the knowledge and English skills they have learnt since being in Elm Class.
After Christmas we will be starting quite a long maths block of multiplication and division. We will start by using equipment, draw pictures to represent groups and then use the multiplication and division symbols to write number sentences. Please continue to help your child to learn their 2, 5 and 10 times tables. This will help them to solve division problems too.
In the new year we will be spending more time completing comprehension questions. The children read very well but they need to improve how they use evidence from the text to answer questions. Over the holidays, please keep reading so that they keep the good habits that they have.
Thank you very much for the gifts and kind words. We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Best wishes,
Mrs Dowell and Mrs Armstrong
