It was great to see everyone who came to visit our toy museum yesterday. The children loved showing you all their learning from this half term and talk about all the toys. It was also great to share our learning with Year R and Year 3.
Later in the day, we also enjoyed finding out about how teddy bears have changed. We looked at some old and new teddies and created our own timeline for them.

The children have been very excited this week to see what their toys have been up to. The toys have been having parties, reading books, learning some Maths and even hiding under or behind furniture! The children have had great discussions about why they thought their toy came out of the toy box and which toy was in charge of all the adventures. They enjoyed sequencing all the events and writing a recount of the toys adventures.
This week we have also been thinking about addition and subtraction in our Maths learning. We are learning to count on and back single-digit numbers using resources and number lines.
We are also continuing to practise our number bonds to 10 and using these to help us learn our number bond pairs to make 20.
Thank you to everyone who has returned the reply slip and payment for our trip to Milestones. Could we give a gentle reminder for any others to be returned by 7th February please.
Thank you all for your continued support with your children.

Happy New Year!
We have had a lovely start to our new term looking at our RE learning about Special Things. The children enjoyed exploring the concept of Special Things and talked about the toys and objects from home which were special to them. We then linked this to special things within the Christian and Jewish faiths. Each class enjoyed creating their own cloth for the class special table, with every child making one piece of the cloth. They look amazing!
We are continuing to develop our Maths knowledge of numbers within 20 by looking at how they are made up of tens and ones and comparing the numbers using the language of greater than and less than. We have also started to look at the story, ‘Lost in the Toy Museum’ as part of our English learning where we will explore the use of adjectives within our writing about toys.
We have also started our new project, Imagination, where we will be looking at how toys have changed throughout history. A note went home on Friday asking for the children to please bring in a small toy (which will stay in school until half term) to use for our Toy Exhibition on Thursday 6th February. Please ensure they come to school in a named carrier bag or named in another way.
Thank you for all your continued support.

It’s been a great end to our Polar Explorer project and the end of term. The children have loved learning about the Polar lands and have learnt lots of amazing facts for their information pages. We have been learning all about clay and created some lovely snowmen and beautiful polar animal clay tiles.
Some of our Year 1 children have also been part of our Christmas pom-pom club at lunchtimes and have made some beautiful festive inspired pom-pom decorations.
Thank you for all your support this term and we would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a lovely break with your children. We look forward to seeing you all in the New Year for our next exciting project.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
