Hi everyone, hope you all had a great weekend despite the miserable weather today! One more week before half term, we can do this!
I just want to start this blog by saying thank you for joining the parent consultations, it was great to have a chat with you about your amazing children. Sorry about some of the technical difficulties we experienced!
Your children have been extremely busy in the Year 1 classroom and have showed some great attitudes to their learning!
In Maths we have been continuing with subtraction within 20 and we are moving on to numbers to 50. At home it would be amazing if you could support your children with numbers to 50 and also their number bonds to 10 and 20.
In Literacy we have been focussing on a book called Cleversticks and the children have produced some great writing about this. We focussed on the theme of resilience which the children show every day!
In Science we have been looking at which materials float and which ones sink. We also did a great experience which involved using crazy soap that the children loved.
On Friday Year 1 and Year 3 collaborated to have an RE morning. We had a range of activities happening which were making challah bread, using Purple Mash to explore different Judaism projects and also decorating the star of David. This was a great opportunity for collaborative learning and all children enjoyed it.
We also had a chopstick challenge in the classroom this week where children were in groups and competing against one another with challenges involving moving things from one plate to another using chopsticks!
Tomorrow marks the beginning of our STEM week and we have so many GREAT things planned. We have a range of special visitors coming in which I will update you on throughout the week. We will also be holding a protest outside the school tomorrow so please come ready to support us! SAVE THE ROUNDHOUSE!
Just one last thing. Please ensure children are practicing their spellings at home. This will really help to support them in the classroom. One parent recommended an app called 'squeebles' which is an app that supports children with the learning of their spellings. This is available on all app stores and costs £4.49 if you wanted to download this. Also, we have lots of RWI books not coming back in. Please can you make sure children bring these back in on a Friday.
Thank you as always for your continued support,
Miss White, Mrs Dewey, Ms Dainton, Mrs Howell and Mrs Hibberd x
