Here is a snapshot of our afternoon learning. During this session children choose an activity of choice from our remote learning curriculum page. The children then complete the activity and we end the session by sharing what we found out.

In Mathematics today we looked at numbers from 11-20.
Children were asked to choose an amount between 11-20 then use one to one correspondence to make the number using objects.
This helped children to recognise that these numbers were made up of tens and ones. (10+4= 14).
We also looked at editing the work of others. For example tiny wrote: 12,13,41,15,16. Children then had to explain their reasoning and rectify the mistake made.

Well done for your amazing work today! I am so proud of you all.
Here is a little snippet of our afternoon, where children were able to choose from a selection of activities

Dear Parents/Carers,
Class 1 have worked very hard this term and have earned enough tokens to have a festive party. In order to have the party safely and ensure we stick to our risk assessment there are some conditions:
• Any donated food to share must be shop-bought and individually pre-packagedsuch as: fruit, multi-pack crisps, mini-rolls, or if your child would like their own food they could bring a personal bag of treats.
• The children can bring party clothes to change into.
The party will be Thursday 17th December afternoon. We’ll polish off leftovers on Friday.
Thank you in advance,
Miss. Couchman

Today in PSHE we spoke about personal hygiene, with a focus on hand washing. The children practised each step practically and then ordered them in their books. They also were able to identify why personal hygiene is important, and how we are staying safe by using this in school, to prevent the spread of germs.

New Electronic Reading Log
In Google Classroom your child has been set up with an electronic reading log which replaces the Partnership books which we used to record your child's reading and number of reads. If they have Golden Tickets these can be seen in these new reading logs. Please record your child's reading on these logs. (Please do not 'submit' or 'turn in' these documents they are live and can be viewed and edited by you and the school). I can't wait to see how much you have been reading at home.
An example is shown below.

The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2020 is: United Against Bullying. Anti-Bullying Week will happen from Monday 16th - Friday 20th November.
This year, more than ever, we’ve witnessed the positive power that society can have when we come together to tackle a common challenge.
Anti-Bullying Week is no different. Bullying has a long lasting effect on those who experience and witness it. But by channelling our collective power, through shared efforts and shared ambitions, we can reduce bullying together.
From parents and carers, to teachers and politicians, to children and young people, we all have a part to play in coming together to make a difference.
We’re all a piece in the puzzle, and together, we’re united against bullying.

Today we celebrate Diwali. Diwali (also: Deepawali) is one of India's biggest festivals. The word 'Deepawali' means rows of lighted lamps. It is a festival of lights and Hindus celebrate it with joy. During this festival, people light up their houses and shops with Diyas (small cup-shaped oil lamp made of baked clay).
I have attached a simple recipe for you to try. Barfi is eaten within the Hindu faith, during the Diwali festival, and is described as being similar to fudge.
