In maths, we have been building on our place value knowledge. The children have been splitting two-digit numbers into tens and ones before taking on the challenge of flexible partitioning. It has been brilliant to see their confidence grow as they discovered that numbers can be partitioned in lots of different ways—for example, spotting that 45 isn't just 40 and 5, but can also be 30 and 15, or even 20 and 25! Over in English, a touch of winter magic arrived early as we began our new unit on *The Snowman*. We watched the classic film together, paying close attention to the characters' expressions and the sequence of events. Because the story is told without words, the children had to look closely at how the pictures and music bring the adventure to life, sparking some fantastic discussions and rich vocabulary ahead of retelling the story in our own words. Our geography lesson took an unexpected turn when we had a surprise visit from an alien who was completely baffled by the layout of our classroom! Determined to help our extraterrestrial guest find his way around, the children worked together to create "messy maps" to show him where everything is. Using classroom objects to represent our tables, book corner, and carpet space, they thought carefully about position and perspective to map out the room from above. On Wednesday, we wrapped up warm and walked down to the war memorial to take part in the village Remembrance service. We were all immensely proud of how respectful, calm, and thoughtful the children were as they stood together to observe the two-minute silence alongside members of our local community. To top it all off, the festive spirit has officially arrived as we have started practising the songs for our Christmas play! The children are really enjoying learning the lyrics and melodies, throwing themselves into every practice with huge smiles and plenty of enthusiasm—you may well hear a few catchy tunes being hummed around the house over the next few days. What a week! Have a lovely, restful weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday.
