Rhinos are gearing up for a really festive and packed few weeks! Children are working hard to learn their lines for our Christmas performance and are enjoying learning many new songs.

The story of the Iron Man is progressing well. The children have been learning about the pattern of the story, language techniques, sentence types and vocabulary used and they are about to discover something astronomers have been keeping an eye on. Today, we gained an insight into the world of illustration by watching a video introducing Chris Mould. We all enjoyed following step by step instructions to create out own Iron Man character.

Our festive bags are being sewn together slowly, but surely! The children are developing their sewing skills beautifully. We will soon be working on the festive design to attach to the front of our bags.

In Maths, we are working through a multiplication and division unit. We are developing skills in being able to recall times tables, applying that knowledge to problems and using tools to help us when were are not quite sure about certain times tables. All children in class have been told how important it is to learn their times tables as this can affect how they progress through their class work. We have expanded our knowledge by getting to know factors, prime numbers, square numbers and cube numbers.

In Geography, we have been researching renewable and non-renewable energy around the world. Children were tasked to sort out different energy sources and create a poster to promote the use of as much renewable energy as possible.

We all had a wonderful time at the panto on Tuesday. The children were so well-behaved and certainly displayed their singing and dancing skills throughout the performance! A lovely start to December.

Thank you for your continued support.
