Term 2 Week 5 'Star of the Week'

This week has been busy and we have all worked hard. the highlight was the trip to the Yaldhurst Transport Museum on Tuesday. We have also enjoyed seeing the different vehicles that have come into our school grounds to work on the relocated Rooms 8 & 9. This work is now complete. We will continue with our transport topic next week.

In maths we continue to work on number knowledge. One game the children enjoy is 'Before or After'.  One child chooses a number and the other children try to work it out (ask your child how to play). Look at Ben and Macy playing this game.

The  'Star of the Week’ for Week 5 is  Freya.

Freya works hard in class and faces challenges with a smile.

Thank you, Freya, it's great to have you in our room.
