‘In a world where you can be anything, be kind.’

Clare Pooley

We ended our week by watching Year 2's Holy Week assembly on Palm Sunday, they retold the story beautifully and we reflected on the events when we came back to class.

Conversation starter:

Each week we will give you a question that we would like you to think about and discuss together at home. This could be over dinner time as a family, at bedtime, on a walk or even in the car. However you choose to discuss this question is up to you, but the idea is that it will help to give an insight in to what we talk about in school, help children to understand more about themselves or others.

What are you proud of today?

What adventures have we been on this week?

We have continued learning about doubles and the parts that make the whole, our stem sentences have been … is made of …. and …. … and …. make …. e.g. 4 is made of 2 and 2, 2 and 2 make 4. Keep practising the children are getting more confident each day. We have also been sorting objects into groups, such as colours, materials they are made from, size.

We continued Jack and the Beanstalk and wrote instructions on how to plant beans, ours have gone home, how tall will they grow?

The weather has been crazy this week, we’ve had, sun, wind, rain and even hail, our weather chart has had a range of weather drawn on it.

Art/DT: everyone has made their junk model characters, don’t they look great :).

Please can you ensure that long hair is tied back and please keep hair accessories simple, this is part of our school uniform policy.
Polite reminder that we are a Nut free school. Please can you bring in healthy snacks please refer to the poster for suitable snacks, we always have fruit avalible too.
PE
Our PE days are Wednesday (outside) and Friday (inside). On these days, children can come to school in their PE uniform and will remain in this for the day. We kindly ask that velcro trainers (white, black or navy) are worn as this allows the children to be indepoendent when taking their shoes off and putting them back on. Polite reminder that for health and safety reasons, no jewellery is to be worn on PE days. We kindly ask that this is removed at home before coming into school.
