Spring Term

Welcome back to the Spring Term at Manor Park School.

We started the new term with a very snowy cold week so it was perfect timing to share 'One Snowy Day' by Nick Buterworth.

We are continuing the term with an exploration of where our food comes from, including cooking, shopping for ingredients, looking at local food outlets and looking at farms and farm animals. We will also be celebrating Chinese New Year and the year of the snake.

Our 'Pathways' book for our English lessons will be 'Naughty Bus' by Jan and Jerry Oke.

In maths we are extending our understanding and counting skills of numbers up to 10, using part-part whole models for addition and extending our quick recall of small amounts by subitising.
