Happy New Year! It has been so lovely having the children back this week and hearing all about their time off.

We have packed our 3 days with some lovely learning. In English, the children wrote about their holidays using the skills we have been learning. In maths, we learned how to subtract by counting backwards on a number line, and how to make 4 fact families.

In science, we went on a scavenger hunt for the signs of winter, observing changes through time in our school grounds.

In geography, we learned the names of the 4 seas which surround the United Kingdom.

In PSHE, we discussed the meaning of the words ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ before categorising activities and foods by how healthy or unhealthy we thought they were. This led to some interesting discussions about fish fingers and watching TV!

In MyHappyMind, we have been spotting character strengths:

• Love and kindness
• Friendship and teamwork
• Love of life and our world
• Bravery and honesty
• Exploring and learning

We have used real life examples and examples from stories to identify people showing these character strength, and to identify our own unique strengths.

To celebrate our week of learning, we chose to have some hot chocolate on Friday afternoon.

Have a wonderful weekend, Team 1!

Mrs Weeks, Mr Flaherty and Miss Thomas.
