Recently there has been Halloween and Bonfire Night. The book that the class read in keeping with these two festivities was Julia Donaldson’s ‘Room On The Broom’. The children loved this story, especially when they found out that the dragon had visited our school! Thankfully it was a kind dragon and not a scary one. The maths lessons last week focused on adding two simple digits and becoming familiar with the addition and equals symbol.

This week we are celebrating Diwali, The festival of light. The children loved hearing this story today and they have created some wonderful drawings of the 10-headed baddy Ravana. Within maths this week we will be focusing on height and length, comparing sizes and measuring in non-standard forms.

Here is a link to a child friendly version of the story of Diwali

Also here is a picture of Ravana!

Don’t forget if your child shows you any wonderful learning at home to note it down on a ‘wow’ moment. (one has been attached to this post if you need a spare one) wow moments
