Good evening Starlings, welcome to this week's blog. 

We have had another busy but super week in class. Things are getting very festive and we are in full rehearsal mode for our Christmas performance. Watch this space! 

Thank you to Ethan's family for donating the beautiful and very special reindeer to our class. We absolutely love it! 

Here's a little snapshot of what we have been up to this week and what we are looking ahead to next week.

We have been working hard this week on completing different part, part, whole challenges. Next week we will be moving on to learning number bonds to 10. 

Writing 

We are absolutely loving our class story 'Nibbles the Book Monster' and we are getting so much fantastic writing work from it. This week we have focused on singular and plural forms of words, and retelling the story of Jack and the Beanstalk by writing a diary entry. Next week we will write letters to tell the other characters how they can stop Nibbles from eating their books. We will also predict the ending of the story and write lists for Nibbles. 

Please remember to practise spellings this week again, ready for our quiz on Friday. Thank you for the continued efforts with learning these. It is clear to see how hard the children have been working at home and it has such an impact in class! 

Take care and have a lovely weekend, 

Mrs. O'Marah, Mrs. Judge, Mrs. Esling and Mrs. Southern
