Hello lovely Starlings and welcome to this week's blog. 

What another fun, festive week we have had! We absolutely loved watching the KS1 and KS2 Christmas performances in class this week, we hope you have enjoyed watching them at home too! Luckily for us, the festive fun didn't end there, we made some Christmas decorations out of recycled materials for Lostock Friends, continued with our 12 days of fitness, and took part in the whole-school Rudolf run! 

In English we have finished writing our diary entries to finish our work on Nibbles the Book Monster, and we were so happy to learn that there's a new Nibbles book which we enjoyed in class.  

In Maths we have continued with some of our addition work using part, part whole.

Next week we are looking forward to watching our Panto, completing some more Christmas crafts, continuing with our addition and number bonds work in maths and exploring poetry as part of our English work.

We cannot believe how quickly our first term has gone and despite all the tricky changes we could not be prouder of the children we are so privileged to teach!
