WHAT WE HAVE BEEN READING THIS WEEK
ALL ABOUT SUBTRACTION
This half-term, we are focusing our learning on ‘Green’. This has allowed us to introduce colour mixing, which the children loved, and allowed lots of opportunities for learning the names of all the colours in French. We have also started to talk about the subject of Recycling. We talked about the recycling symbol and its meaning and how we can help our world become more green. In Maths we have been singing ’10 Green Bottles’ and taking away some to recycle!
We are in desperate need of newspapers and junk modelling so please start collecting!
