The children have settled in so well and have got used to the new routines.

Our 3 literacy units focussed on sentence writing and oracy with dinosaurs and fossils as the stimulus. Thank you to those who came in to hear the children re-tell the paragraph from the story 'Stone girl, bone girl'.

Mary Anning was a big feature this half-term and the children learnt lots about her and what discoveries she made.

This week we talked about Black History month and learnt about Nelson Mandela and why he is so important in history. They learnt that he wanted everyone to be treated equally.

Please continue to read regularly at home with your child. It really does support what we are doing in class.

Have a great half-term. See you all in November.
