This week we have introduced our new topic of ‘Postal Workers’. We have been discussing the different roles in our community, such as; teachers, police officers, florists, shop assistants and postal workers. The children have had lots of run role-playing in the new post office and writing letters to Santa.

In drawing club, we read ‘The Jolly Postman’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. The children designed a new bike for the Jolly Postman so he could deliver his letters quicker, and a Christmas jumper for him to wear to spread the Christmas cheer.

In math's, we have been learning about shapes with 4 sides. The children have described both squares and rectangles and have used lolly pops sticks to make these shapes. We also explored folding a square piece of paper to make smaller rectangles and squares – the children did a great job!

In Pe, we have continued with our topic of ‘Transport’, the children have been practicing travelling under and over apparatus and overarm throwing.

We have been practicing singing for our Christmas performance, which the children are very excited for!
