R BEECH - Finlay who has been working really hard on his writing this year. Not only can he now confidently write his name, this week he did some amazing writing about the story of The Gingerbread Man. He thought carefully about his letter formation and is even practising writing in his playtime now!

R HAZEL - Leo F Leo loves numbers and enjoyed playing a game yesterday. He rolled the die, used subitising  to tell us the amount, circling the correct number of dots and writing down the numeral. Well done Leo!

1 OAK - Lyla for the fantastic effort she puts into her writing every day. She made a brilliant start at writing instructions to explain how to build an egg box dragon, using what she learned when making her own dragon last week. Lyla always shows a positive attitude, works hard and remembers the feedback she is given. She enjoyed the writing so much that she even chose to write her own instructions on Monday morning at the writing table. Miss Daly is so proud of the progress Lyla is making. Well done!
