What a busy week it has been in Cherry Class this week! 

We kick started our week off with our first 'Muddy Monday' trip to the Woodland area. We enjoyed exploring our environment and we did mud painting, collected Autumn findings and matched the colours and we made woodland fairies! 

We have learnt all about the Hindu celebration of Diwali this week and we made Diva lamps and Rangoli patterns. We loved looking at the colourful pictures and trying on some of the clothes that Hindu's wear for this celebration. Ask your child if they can tell you about the story of Rama and Sita which we read together this week. 

In phonics this week we learnt the sounds 'y,v,w,x'. Ask your child if they can recognise these words and have a go at writing them. We have also been practising reading the tricky words 'has,his and her'. 

In maths we have learnt all about repeating patterns this week. We have also been counting daily and have been recognising and writing digits and counting out amounts within 5. 

To finish our week we learnt about Remembrance Day. We all created our own poppy and took part in a minute silence with the whole school.
