What a lovely first week back! We have enjoyed exploring lots of fun activities inspired by Bonfire Night, and it has been wonderful to see the children producing some fantastic free writing all about fireworks and Guy Fawkes, alongside some beautiful firework pictures.

In maths, we have started learning about subtraction by finding a missing part. We have been using practical resources and part-whole models to help us understand how numbers can be split into different parts.

Our Drawing Club story this week was We're Going on a Bear Hunt! The children loved exploring the story, learning some exciting new vocabulary and using their imaginations to write about the bear.

In Geography, we have been learning about what a country is and discovering which four countries make up the United Kingdom. The children enjoyed designing and creating their very own flags.

In Science, we wrapped up warmly and headed out on a seasonal walk around the school to look for signs of autumn. We spotted lots of changes in our environment and thought carefully about what happens during this season. The children then enjoyed writing about the changes they had discovered.

Have a lovely weekend!
