Our focus book for this week is The nativity. We had a look at the language and had a go acting some of it out, e.g. gazed, astonished, travelled etc. We noticed that they all have ed endings and reminded ourselves that this means it had already happened.

We then retold the first part of the nativity story and wrote it in our English books.

For maths we have been learning how to count in twos. We know that when we are counting in two we are counting two lots of something. We made a sock number line, ensuring we were counting in twos.

Next week:

English – We will be writing the middle part of the nativity story. Can your child tell you what happened after Mary and Joseph travelled on a donkey?

Maths – We will be continuing to explore counting in twos. We will pair this  with a number line and draw a jump of two. Please encourage your child  to count in twos at home.
