This week has been another busy week.

Our focus has been on the Chinese New Year story, where the children learnt all about the animals in the race. If you want to read this story at home here is a link to the story that we have been using in class.

Within maths we have been learning all about repeating patterns and symmetry. We have been making some of our own repeating patterns.

As you probably know, Friday is our favourite day of the week in school, because we get to do PE! Yay! The children are becoming much quicker at dressing themselves independently.

Here are some pictures of us practcing our climbing and balancing skills in PE.

Also this week we have had another helicopter stories session. The children are becoming really confident at telling storys and acting them out. Here are some action shots of one story beign told.

What a busy and fun filled week!!
