Dear Barn Owls and families,

Thank you for a super week in school!  I wanted to share some of the fabulous learning and activities you have completed this week. Please have a look at the photos that have been uploaded this week too.

We finished our practise models of writing instructions this week. They were linked to the apple bird feeders that you made, and I have been very impressed with the imperative verbs that you have added too! Next week you will have the opportunity to write independent instructions to show how to make a tasty wrap to eat.

It has been exciting to see the birds visiting our bird feeder attached to our classroom window. We see a whole host of different birds feasting on the seeds, including robins and yellow tits. This weekend is the RSPB annual Big Garden Birdwatch Weekend. I'd love to know if any of you have taken part and how many birds you have seen. Next week in English we'll begin our work on the story book, "The building boy".

In maths we have much to celebrate as EVERYONE has been fantastic! We have been working on a mixture of number bonds and subtraction.  We have been subtracting two 2 digit numbers (across a 10) e.g 34-17=   .  I am particularly proud of the children who have learnt from a marvellous mistake they have made.  We must try to see mistakes as a very important part of our learning and nothing to be worried about at all, I make marvellous mistakes everyday!

We have managed to complete a variety of lessons across the curriculum too including music, DT, forest school, PE, PSHE, RE, Guided Reading, Science, Geography, History, Guided reading and phonics! Wow, you are all AMAZING.

                                                          Have a restful and snuggly weekend.

                                                 I'm looking forward to seeing you all on Monday.
