This week our celebration has been ‘Birthdays’! On Monday Paddington Bear and Peter Rabbit told us it was their birthday on Friday and they would both be turning 5. It has been an exciting week, with the children making lists of things we need for our party, writing party invitations, decorating biscuits, getting messy in the sensory tray with jelly, ice cream, squirty cream and sprinkles, designed birthday cakes, making birthday cards and all alongside doing lots of work on our sounds and numbers. To finish off our week of fun, the party was on Friday afternoon. The children had lots of fun dancing, playing party games and eating the biscuits they decorated.

Not only has it been a week of birthdays, it’s also Maths week. We have had lots of Maths fun exploring the story 10 Black Dots, and the children have worked hard at their 1:1 correspondence, number recognition and subtising.
