This week we explored what maps are and how we use them. We then had a go at drawing our own sketch maps of the classroom. This week, we will be using compass directions.

Advance Notice: On Thursday 10th December, we will be filming a short Christmas performance. I want to keep the costumes as easy as possible so am suggesting that children come to school on the day in either a nativity costume of their choice e.g. angel, shepherd, wise man or a Christmas jumper/ top with trousers, jeans or a skirt of their choice.

English: We will be reading John Patrick Norman McHennessy by John Burningham and Dear Teacher by Amy Husband. We will use our imaginations to think of excuses for why we might be late for school! We will look at how letters are set out and write letters to our teacher explaining the adventures we have been on whilst we were trying to get to school on time!
