Written by William and Molly

Monday 30th November

We started with spelling and this week’s rule was homophones. In English we were listening to the story Five Children & It. Then we looked at adjectives. After break we had to recognise the types of different angles. In the afternoon we did Christmas crafts, making baubles as well as decorating the classroom.

Today was the first of December so we opened our advent calendar. Miss Stevens pulled two names out of the hat and the names were Toby and Bella. First we did English and we were learning about settings from a book Five children and It. After that we did History and we were making posters about Elizabeth I. After that in music we were practising our songs for our Carol Concert. Then we did French and we were learning about rooms in the house.
