Welcome Back!


Well didn't the week off fly!!! I hope you enjoyed it as much as Mrs Foster and myself - we went away for a few days in Northumberland (yes together -otherwise we miss each other too much!!!) and it was absolutely freezing.

We hope that you may have been told by your children, or perhaps have noticed the change in the cloakroom, that we have started a new theme this week which is called "Help! I Need Somebody" and we will be talking about the people who help us both everyday and in cases of emergencies. This is a favourite topic as it includes visits from people in uniforms - often with very exciting vehicles and props!

This week has been exciting in other ways as we have issued their first home reading books for you to share with them and we have started to have a little listen to the songs we will be singing in our Christmas Production. We will let you know more about the production later but please keep the date Tuesday 16th December free in your diaries!

In number work this week we have taken our first look at weight and used the words light, lighter, lightest, heavy, heavier and heaviest to compare different items. In literacy we have looked at a non-fiction text called "It's the weekend!" which is a recount of how different children spent their weekends. In our Knowledge and Understanding work we have talked about who the children think help them and asked them what they would like to do as a job when they are older. We have also obviously talked about Bonfire Night and how to stay safe.
