Dragonflies had a fantastic first week back from the holidays. The children were keen to share their holiday news. The children have spent the week creating self portraits learning all about the different features on their face. The children created their pictures by using brusho as a wash then painted their face and added the finer details using pastels. I think you'll agree the children did an amazing job when you see their pictures. 

We started to think a bit about the topic at the seaside. The children were excited to play with the airport and the beach scene that we set up. It was lovely to watch the children recount their experiences of the beach to each other whilst playing. We are currently encouraging the children to tell stories when they are playing. 

In the maths this week, we continued the theme of 'First, Next and Now' but with a greater focus on subtraction. The children enjoyed listening to the story, 'The shopping basket'. The children thought about the items that the boy collected from the shop and discussed what happened to them on the way home using first, now and next. The children have also use the numicon to investigate addition and subtraction facts for numbers up to six. 

We ended the week by inviting in Grandparents for an afternoon of art which was delightful. It was great to see so many grandparents. Thank you so much for all those parents/grandparents that purchased the art work. The funds raised will help to subsidise the school trips we go on. 

The weather is getting a lot warmer and the children are enjoying time outside for longer periods of time. Please make sure you send your child to school with a sunhat and with sun cream applied.
