This week we have been doing some fantastic learning about the book The Lonely Beast by Chris Judge. Here is a link to a video of it if you would like to enjoy it at home.

The Lonely Beast - by Chris Judge, read by Mrs M. Dodd (youtube.com)

The children have produced some fantastic character descriptions of the Beast and will be writing a letter to him next week. In Maths we have been finding one less than a given number - first by using sets of objects, removing one and counting the set that remained, then moving onto using a number line. Perhaps you could practise this at home?

We started our Art topic this wek and the children researched the life of Andy Warhol then experimented to create a self portarait with different media!

We have also moved onto phase 5 in our phonics - learning some tricky new sounds. There will be a parents workshop on Friday to allow you to see how phonics is taught to your child and it would be fantastic to see you there!
