As writers, we have continued exploring Iliona and looking closely at parts of the diary entry, identifying adjectives, nouns, verbs and adverbs. 

During our Writing Workshop session, the children in Indian have now completed their planning for their informative texts about their chosen animals. Arctic will do their planning and writing next week. They have really enjoyed researching interesting facts and gathering information to support their writing.

In maths, we have begun our next unit on multiplication and division. This week, we explored arrays and grouping, helping the children build a strong visual understanding of these concepts. We will continue developing these skills over the coming weeks.

For design & technology, we had a lovely afternoon tasting a variety of dips. Next week, we will be making our own hummus and children will have a choice of ingredients to add to their hummus.

Home learning

Children have been sent home with home-learning tasks to complete. Please continue to support your child in getting these completed as well as daily reading.

If you are able to assist with walking to the church, please let the Oceans team know via email. Children must be wearing weather appropriate clothing and sensible footwear.

Oceans will be singing ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’. We will be practising on Monday afternoon to make sure that we are ready to show our amazing singing. Please support your child to revisit the lyrics and practise the song.
