Please can all the children bring a water bottle and a sun hat to school for the last two days. Please can they have suncream on and suncream in school if they need to reapply it during the day.

Thank you for coming to our OPAL picnic on Monday. The children really enjoyed sharing their work with you.

It is really hard to believe we are coming to the end of our school year. We have really enjoyed our class and working with you this year. We hope you have a wonderful Summer.

This Week:

In maths, we revised the number aspects of the Year One curriculum.

In phonics, we continued to revise all of our Year One sounds, through a range of activities. 

Spellings: We revised the Year One Common Exception words.

In English, we continued to look at the features of a non-chronological texts and we looked at a range of non-fiction books. We learnt how the use the contents pages independently.

In Design and Technology we decorated, played with and evaluated our toy garages. We also planned, made, ate and evaluated a fruit salad!

In P.E, we continued our athletics activities through team games. 

In PSHE, we talked about being safe online.

Next Week:

Please can the children wear their P.E kits on Tuesday. We will do P.E in the morning as we have our Year 6 leaver’s assembly in the afternoon.

We will collect in the children’s reading folders and reading record books on Monday, ready to pass up to Year Two.

We will send the rest of the children’s books home on Monday, so please can the children bring in a named carrier bag. Thank you.
