What a beautiful first week we have had in our new class! Children have come back so focused and have really worked so hard this week to learn all our routines and tenets of behaviour to make our class Strive, Thrive, Aspire and be Respectfully Responsible.
We always begin our year reflecting on our school mission statement, “You are Precious in my Eyes.” All the children have thought about who said this and what it means to be truly precious in the eyes of God. If everyone is God’s special creation then we realised everyone deserves to be treated like a precious jewel; therefore we made this sign to remind us each day.
We then went on to learn about rights as things we all deserve and how we are responsible to ensure everyone gets their rights. These are our class rights which children came up with:
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO FEEL SAFE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO LEARN WELL YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT
This week, the children finished off their ‘Meet Me’ posters all about their hobbies and favourite things.
In our English lessons we have started to learn about different text types and their purpose. Next week, we begin our topic all about explanation texts. We have dived right into our new spelling programme which allows us to revise past spellings, remember rules and learn really tricky words. Please look at the homework section for more information.
We have started our new Science topic all about Living things and their habitats, whilst also learning about how seeds disperse.
Conversation Starters.
This week, children had their first Kidsafe lesson which was all about trust and recognising ‘yukky feelings.’ What makes you feel sad, scared or worried? How does it feel in your body?
Please read the letter below which tells you all about it.

Let’s Celebrate!
The children have voted for the certificates for the end of this half term. Certificates for every learning character go to Louis, Daisy and Lily. Your class said so many nice things about you - that you are all kind to people and are all good friends who are there for other people. Every single on of you have become great listeners with improved focus too. Well done.

A final note from me - I feel truly blessed to have taught your children and they will always hold a place in my heart. Thank you so much for all your support this year and for all your kind words and gifts.
We hope you have a beautiful Summer with your little lovelies. It has been a privilege to teach them all and they are ready… for Year 5!
