Monday 30th January

Good morning everyone! 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend, the weather was a bit kinder this weekend.

You may notice that a bicycle rack has been fitted where we normally bring the Yr1 and Yr2 children in to school in the morning near the office. As a result of this in the mornings all YrR, Yr1 and Yr2 children are now going to come into school through the reception playground to help ease any congestion in that area. The gate will be open from 8:45-8:55am (when the bell goes). After this time the gate will be shut and you will have to bring your child to the main door. Collections for Oak Class children will remain the same on the top playground.

As always please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any concerns or queries.

Maths

 Year 2 children will continue to go to Hawthorne with their classmates for maths. Miss Barnes and Mrs Lee will be going to support them. Please see Hawthorne's class page for their learning objectives

Year 1 will be looking at 

• giving change by counting up
• finding differences by counting up
• looking at halves and quarters of shapes

Literacy

This week we will be continuing the story of The Robot and the Bluebird. As tempting as it can be please do not read the story yet as we still haven't finished it! The book is revealed slowly to the children with activities such as what might happen next etc difficult to do when the children already know the answer. 

This week we will be

• exploring the emotional journey the robot and the bluebird make
• describing different feelings at different times thinking of other words apart from just happy and sad
• writing a book review
• creating a story board
• writing the story of The Robot and the Bluebird in their own words

The children will come and leave school from the main entrance next to the office and walk through school to our classroom

Homework will be sent home on Friday to be returned no later than Tuesday. The activities that we send are designed to support the learning that has been done in class during the week. Your children will need support to complete them.

Spellings will be sent home on Wednesday for the test the following Wednesday. 

PE is on Tuesday with coach Leon and a second session will be on Friday. We are asking you to send your children in on PE days in their PE kit as getting changed can cause lots of lost clothes issues! Please can you make sure all items of clothing, especially jumpers, cardigans and coats are named.
