Dear Parents and Carers

This week we have become plant experts! The children have studied seed germination and have a fantastic vocabulary to describe the different stages of germination.  Their seeds are beginning to grow (some better than others!) and we will continue to care for them and see which conditions suit the beans best.

 Next week in literacy we will be thinking about story writing and will be focussing on descriptive writing including similes.  We will also look at how the past tense is used in stories.

In numeracy, we will be thinking about complements to 10, using this to help our addition and subtraction, as well as continuing with our sorting work.  This week we began to work with Venn diagrams and next week we will continue with this as well as looking at other ways to sort numbers and objects.

In topic work we will be thinking about harvest time and how we use food to celebrate throughout the year.

We look forward to another exciting week!

Thank you.

Mrs Willetts and Mrs Burns
