We have been learning to tell the time on an analogue clock this week. We now know the times for o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to and can solve time problems.

Ask your child to tell you the time, see how much they remember!

Science

We started our new learning about everyday materials and their uses.

The children heard the Epiphany story and rewrote it beautifully in their own words. They also painted and decorated a scene of the Wise Men following the star.
