Next term, in maths, we will be learning number bonds to 10. Take a look at these two number bonds songs.

Farmer Pete also has an iPhone app which you may find helpful but it cost 75p.

This afternoon was such a treat for our Reception children. We invited their Grandparents in for Afternoon Tea and we all had a wonderful time. The children entertained their Grannies and Grandads with their Little Red Riding Hood retell that they have been practising every day and a few songs. They then had the chance to have a sneaky peek at our classroom and see some of the impressive work that the children have been doing.

 

The afternoon would not have been able to take place without all of the donations of delicious cakes and for the parents (and grandparents) that helped tirelessly with the teas and for all of the clearing up afterwards. A huge thanks you to you all.

 

The chicks had a wonderful weekend with Mrs Hodges and William, however one of the little male chicks was very weak and didn’t survive. But we still have eight very healthy chicks, four males and four females. The chicks are growing fast and we have been looking closely at the changes we can see.
They are much stronger, faster, bigger, fluffier, and little feathers are forming on the tips of their wings.

 

They are also eating and drinking lots and lots and pooing quite a bit too!

So 9 out of 10 of our eggs have hatched and we now have 9 little fluffy chicks. The yellow ones are the boys and the brown ones, the girls. All of the chicks are now living in the brooder box with a light to keep them warm.

We were very lucky today because we were allowed to hold a chick. We were all very careful and kept quiet and still so that we didn’t frighten the chicks.
For the long weekend, the chicks have gone to Mrs Hodges’s house to be looked after by William.
