This Week's News
23rd October 2020:
The children have worked really hard this week, despite being extra tired, but we have finally made it to the end of the first half term! I hope you all have a wonderful, well-deserved break!
The children have enjoyed learning about our local area and have worked hard at revising shapes and their properties.
Next half term our topic is Festivals and Toys. The children will be carrying out work about the story Room on The Broom during the first week back at school, including reviewing the story, identifying rhyming words and describing the setting. In Maths we will continue our addition and subtraction block.
In Kaizen we will be completing our fireworks pictures using the iPads.
See you in Novemer and have a great week.
Mrs Stockdale & Miss Woodliffe.

The children have all worked really hard this week and are settling into Year 1 extremely well. We are really proud of them all.
Next week in English we will be learning about ourselves. We will be labelling our bodies and the human skeleton and learning about how to keep clean and healthy. This is a cross-curricular unit with both Science and PSHE.
In Maths we will be learning about more and less.
In D & T we will be making human skeletons from art straws.
By now you should have all received your Tapestry log ins. The email may have gone to your junk email folder if you cannot see it in your inbox. Please activate your account if you have not done so already. We will begin to use Tapestry for stories and communications once everyone is up and running. Please let us know if you need any help at all getting onto Tapestry.
Please could we remind you that children should not be using the trim trail before or after school.
Many thanks and have a great weekend!

The children have really enjoyed exploring their senses this week and have thought of some brilliant adjectives for their poetry.
Next week in English we will continue our topic about our senses and use our experiences this week to help us to write senses poems.

In Kaizen we will be exploring pointillism in Art and will be painting fruit and vegetables by making dots with our fingers.
Have a wonderful weekend!
