Happy New Year and welcome back!

Thank you for all your very kind Christmas wishes, cards and gifts. We hope you have all had a happy time with friends and family.

This week the children will be discussing how they celebrated Christmas. They will be learning about the Christian Epiphany story.

We will be introducing our new topic on animals and the children will be considering ‘I am an animal’ and our big question -‘How do you know that you are a human?’

The children will be recapping the phonemes ‘ch’, ‘th’ and ‘sh’ and introduced to the phoneme ‘ng’ and the tricky words ‘was’ and ‘my’.

In maths the children will be ordering and writing numbers and spotting the deliberate mistakes! They will be estimating, counting and problem solving with objects. Counting forwards and back.
