The Week Ahead in Challenger

The Seasons and the Weather
Last week we took our inspiration from the ever-changing English weather and children wrote some wonderful acrostic and haiku poetry. We'll be writing final neat copies this week and also looking at traditional nursery rhymes associated with the weather.
We have begun to keep records of temperature and rainfall and we'll continue to monitor this for the rest of the year as we consider how the weather changes according to the season.
Spellings for this week
Maths
The topic this week is Place Value in numbers up to 20. This includes:
counting forwards and backwards to 20
writing numbers to 20 in numerals and words
ordering and comparing
finding 1 more or 1 less
an understanding of 10s and 1s
Christmas
Children are starting to prepare for their Christmas performance which will be filmed this year for you to enjoy. The only special costume children will need is a woolly hat and scarf for our outside performance. Please send these in by Wednesday of this week as we will begin filming on Thursday.
Don't forget your Christmas stars for the House Competition.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
