This afternoon Opal Class have been investigating evergreen and deciduous trees. Deciduous trees, like Willow trees and Norway Maples, lose their leaves in the Autumn but evergreen trees, like Christmas trees, keep their leaves all year round! Look out for them on your way to school…
Today Opal class were practising sharing between 2. We now know that the amounts have to be the same for each group and we used the “one for me, one for you” method. Some children looked at using the division symbol to record their sharing. Well done Opal, a fab lesson!
This afternoon Opal class were looking at how the trees change through the seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. We discussed how the leaves start to die as the weather gets colder and this means that they fall off!
This morning Topaz Class have been writing letters home to their parents about Lights, Camel, Action! They carefully planned what would be in their letter and why they are writing it. Well done Topaz, the letters look fab!
This morning, Opal Class have been writing letters to their parents telling them about the Christmas play. Expect a delivery after school!

This afternoon Opal class went outside to look at some different trees and how we can identify them through their leaves. We found a Norway Maple tree (3 pointed leaf), a Silver Birch tree (short and round leaf) and a Willow tree (long and thin leaf). We also talked about seasonal changes and how the trees look different in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
Crystal class had a lovely time during their Stay and Read this morning. Thank you to the parents who were able to come. We are looking forward to our next Stay and Read next Thursday 30th November.

Thank you to all who came, we hope to see you again very soon for our next Stay and Read on the 7th December.
