We have had another lovely week in Earl’s Hill week and have been very busy with the different things that have been happening.

On Monday we enjoyed learning all about Chinese new year. We talked about why the colour red is seen during Chinese New Year, and listened to the story about the animals race.

In Literacy this week our Year 1 children have finished writing their independent story about the ‘Ant’ and ‘Zebra’. I am absolutely amazed by the work the children have produced and how well written the stories are. They should be so proud of themselves! Reception children have also been working really hard and have made a story map this week in Literacy. We have been using our phonics to write captions to go alongside our drawings. Well done everyone.

In Maths this week Year One children have been learning about doubles and near doubles. It would be great if you could continue this learning at home and support your child in spotting ‘doubles’ in their environment.

In Art this week Year One have been sharing their paintings with friends and discussing what they were proud of and what they would like to improve.

We have also discussed internet safety this week. We learnt a new song about how to keep safe online.

We all enjoyed the valentines disco on Tuesday!

Reception children have also been enjoying the Bike Ability training this week.

On Friday the whole class made valentine’s day cards and we discussed what makes a good friend and how we show kindness and compassion. We also enjoyed doing a dance using the large dragon for Chinese new year.

Have a lovely half term holiday Earl’s Hill and well done for another fantastic week.
