Dear Parents and Carers,
The children have made a great start to the term and have returned motivated to learn and reinvigorated by the Christmas Spirit. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
This half term we will be joined by our trainee Teacher Mrs Bewes who will be in class from Tuesday until Thursday each week.
Last week we consolidated our learning from the previous term and this week we will start a new unit, namely, Addition and Subtraction within 20 - there are very useful resources on the White Rose website and here is a link for the supporting maths booklet:

Children have moved to their new RWI groups. Please remember to read each night, your child's teacher in phonics should provide spellings each week on a Monday to be tested on a Friday.

Wider Curriculum
Computing 
The children will be using our class chromebooks to get more familiar with the keyboard and practise writing digitally for themselves.

Science
Over the coming half term in Science we are exploring Weather and the Seasons. We will be of course looking at each season and its characteristics as well as thinking about how plants such as trees change through the seasons. We will also think about how some animals hibernate for the winter.

Forest School
Forest school will run every other week starting from the 17th of January. Your child will need:

1. Waterproofs (all in ones if possible).
2. Wellies or tough shoes and clothes that can get dirty preferably with long sleeves.
3. Coat and hat.

Enjoy your week!
Mrs Budiman, Mrs Day and Mrs Bewes
