In Science, we asked what is a material?

We have had a lovely first week in Orange Class! 

We have practised our phonics, and our letter formation, as well as reviewing our numbers 1-20. 

Miss Keating and Mrs Jennings have been very impressed at how settled the children have been, and how kind everyone's been to each other at playtimes and choosing time.
