Our children have enjoyed the walk around the local area and a big thank you to all the parents for the continued support. We are continuing to learn about Croydon – transport, parks, libraries, restaurants, shops etc..

 

English

We have an exciting new text called ‘Lila and the Secret of the rain’. Your children will be able to understand about ‘Journey stories’ as well as develop an understanding of contrasting localities which is linked to our geography topic. They will be able to compare and contrast Croydon (UK) with Kenya focusing on climate, weather conditions, physical (hills, mountains, lakes) and human features ( houses, town, village ).

Maths

Our focus is addition and children need to know their number bonds ( pairs of numbers) of all numbers to 10 and 20. Please support your child to learn how to add using resources at home e.g. spoons, sweets, pasta

RE

We will have a school Assembly to gain an awareness and understanding of the festival of Diwali by a special visitor and children will do fun activities related to it.

Hand writing

Please encourage your child to use joined up handwriting. We are doing the caterpillar letters focusing on the letters c, a o, d, g.
