THIS WEEK – During our Come and See session, we have been finding out about Pentecost.

In Literacy, we have continued to work with the story of the Jolly Postman and have been writing recipes and potions for the Wicked Witch. Within Maths, we have completed our post learning activity on doubling and halving and have completed our Pre-learning task on odd and even numbers. In the afternoon, we investigated materials to find out which material was the best at keeping the Jolly Postman’s letters dry. The children have also started to make their vehicles using their designs from last week to help them.
