The children have settled in really nicely since coming back from the Christmas holidays and have already thrown themselves into their learning!
In maths, we have started learning our two and five times tables. We’ve looked at how we can create groups of objects to help us to understand what multiplication represents.
If you’d like to practise your times tables at home, here are some links to games that children can play:

In literacy, we have been enjoying the traditional tale Lila and the Secret of the Rain. We’ve been creating story maps, retelling the story in class and will soon be retelling the story ourselves.
In Topic, we have started to learn about the polar regions. The children have been learning about the Arctic and Antartica, where these can be found on a map, and information about the animals that live in these areas. We’ve also been reviewing our learning on the continents and the equator.
