This week we have continued to prepare ourselves for Christmas and the coming of Jesus. We have focused on this during our daily worships and took time to reflect on what we need to do to prepare. We have thought about the importance of saying sorry when we have done wrong but we have also discussed how important it is to accept an apology when it comes our way. Above all, we have remembered that we need to have a loving heart at all times.

Most of our week has been taken up with Carol Service practice! The children have blown me away with how hard they have worked and I know they will impress you all on Wednesday.

Despite the busyness we have managed to fit in some fantastic learning…

-Maths: we have been learning how to choose an appropriate strategy when faced with an addition or subtraction.

-English: the children completed their instruction text on How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth and then wrote another instruction text on How to Catch Santa! Some amazing writing has been produced this week.

- R.E: we unpicked the Hail Mary and had a go at writing this special prayer in our own words. We also role played the visit between Mary and Elizabeth; and wrote a letter to Elizabeth explaining why Mary said yes to God.
