We really enjoyed our phonics workshop with our grown-ups! We played phonics bingo, tricky word bingo and phonics snakes and ladders.

In Science we are learning about materials. We have been 'material detectives' and we went on a material hunt. We found an object and then wrote what it is made out of for example- Bench-Wood. We had so much fun!

In PSHE this week we have been having discussions about friendships and appropriate behaviour. We have been thinking about how we might respond in different situations and how we should be mindful of how others might be feeling.
