We have started our new topic, Up, Up and Away, in which we have been learning all about things that fly. We have been reading the story Owl Babies by Martin Waddell and learning about Owls. The children have enjoyed learning the story and making their own owl pictures. In maths we have been thinking about ordering numbers. We have practised putting numbers 1-5 in order, then numbers 1-10. Some of the children have enjoyed maths so much they have been showing us how they can order numbers to 20! We also had great fun in our weekly music session with Berkshire Maestros, where the children have the opportunity to sing, dance and play musical instruments. Well done to all our new children who have settled in brilliantly, and our existing children who have made them feel so welcome!
