This half term our topic is The Fairground. During our English sessions the children will be making information booklets, posters, tickets and learning about nouns, adjectives and verbs. In maths we will be focusing on time, position and direction. We will also be making our own moveable fairground rides. We are really looking forward to this half term and having lots of fun while we learn.

During science week we visited a planetarium. It was amazing seeing the planets and the stars in our solar system. The children asked lots of questions about the solar system and we wrote a recount about our experience.
We have been using our floor book this half term to concentrate on place value and our number system. The children had to use their problem solving and reasoning skills to work out what number their partner was thinking about. This was very tricky but we had lots of fun and learnt lots of new skills.

Today we have been to visit Holy Trinity Church in Stalybridge. The children were learning about the real meaning of Christmas. The children got to meet lots of different characters from the Christmas story and they told the children all about how baby Jesus was born.They met Mary, Joseph, a Wise Man, a Shepherd, a Roman Solider and lots more. The children had an amazing time and we would like to thank the church for making it a very special experience.
