Term 3, Week 1 learning update:

A great first week of 2025 back at Barley Close. The children have been full of smiles and so happy to see their friends. 

We read a new book called The Bear and the Piano by David Litchfield. It's about a bear who finds a piano in the middle of the forest and begins to play it. Over years of practice, he becomes really good at it and travels to a nearby city to play to large audiences. At the end he returns to the forest as he misses his bear friends so much. It has lovely illustrations. We practised using the conjunctions and, but, so to add more detail to our sentences.  

In Maths this week we revisited place value and compared 2 digit numbers using the greater than and less than symbols. We also put amounts into ascending and descending order.

In PE we started a new unit on football and hockey skills. We worked on dribbling the ball carefully. 

Our new history unit is all about the first aeroplane designed and flown by the Wright Brothers in America. We looked at the first models to try and take flight. 

Reading books were changed today and new spellings were stuck into spelling books. 

Have a lovely weekend.
