Week 5!

It is Week 5 this week and the start of December! I hope everyone enjoyed opening their advent calenders this morning :)

Last week, the children very much enjoyed designing their own character for the story of Can't You Sleep Little Bear. We had Little Owls, Little Foxes and even a Little Eagle.

Next Week ...

Literacy:
In literacy this week, we will be enjoying different Paddington Bear stories and exploring some of the different adventures he has been on. Paddington certainly is a curious bear and, over the next two weeks, the children will have the opportunity to create their own adventure for Paddington Bear to enjoy!

We will be watching these two clips this week:
1.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eMZPEUR9As (Please Look After this Bear)
2.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCPnsqxDKf4 (A Bear in Hot Water)
3.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MIxqPBrJq4 (Trouble at the Beach)

Please share and enjoy these clips with your children to help them become more familiar with the adventures of Paddington Bear. For more Paddington Bear resources and fun games, visit: http://www.paddingtonbear.com/.

Numeracy:
In numeracy this week, we will be continuing to become subtraction superstars!! Children will be using the malteaser method to help them calculate subtraction problems.

Also ... Last week the children enjoyed making Christmas crafts and cards for the Christmas Fair on Wednesday 4th December. These crafts will be on sale on their class stall as well as a fun game for you to come and play. We look forward to seeing you at the Christmas Fair .... please do come and say hi! In addition, we have a whole school pantomime to enjoy on Tuesday morning. We will be watching Sleeping Beauty which should be lots and lots of fun.

Have a super week!
The Key Stage 1 Team :)
