We spent the start of this week eating and smelling more chocolate than we could possibly eat. I hope that nobody ended up being sick! It was certainly an adventure and the children were buzzing with ideas and excitement (that might have just been the sugar!) that we hope will transfer into their next steps of learning. They made lollipops and chocolate bars with edible wallpaper. I’m not too sure about the bubblegum flavour that they chose though!
We have learnt the skills of note making so that we have been able to begin researching important facts about the production of chocolate from bean to bar. This will be vital as we write our final product texts.
In Maths we have started to explore patterns of addition and subtraction. All of this learning will be easier if all children can recall number bonds really quickly. Please practice these at home until they are automatic.
Just a reminder that PE days will still be the same this term. Indoor PE is Wednesday and outdoor will be Friday (weather permitting). Children MUST have a spare pair of trainers to go outside with as the field is so muddy. Tracksuit tops and trousers are also advised as it is still cold.
Remember to keep reading regularly at home and practicing those times tables. All children have their Rockstars login in their reading records.
