Fairy Tales 

🧮 Maths
This week in Maths, we have been learning all about addition to 20. The children have been using number lines to help them count on and find totals. Everyone has worked really hard to understand how numbers get bigger when we add, and it’s been lovely to see their confidence growing!

✏️ Phonics and Reading
We have been focusing really hard on our phonics this week, especially revisiting and practising some of the sounds we’ve been forgetting. The children have shown great determination and focus — it’s been wonderful to see how much progress they’re making in both their reading and spelling.

🎨 DT (Design and Technology)
We have now finished our amazing moving pictures based on the traditional tale Little Red Riding Hood! The children planned, designed, and made their pictures themselves, using levers and mechanisms to make the characters move. Please take a look at the Class Photos page to see their fantastic creations!

⚽ PE (Physical Education)
In PE, we have been focusing on developing our rugby skills. The children have practised running with the ball, passing to teammates, and working together in small groups. It’s been great to see so much teamwork and enthusiasm!

Have a lovely weekend! 🌟
