We have had a super week learning more about the seaside and the  creatures that live in rock pools or around the seaside. We also discussed other animals that would NOT live there and why. Yesterday we had our very exciting visitors from the Exotic Zoo in Telford and learnt even more about some very unusual creatures – Milly the Millipede, Tiny the Tortoise, Eddie the ball python (or royal python as they’re better known), Jabba the Bullfrog, Woody the Armadillo and a very cute creature called Henry who is a Tenrec, although at first we all thought he was a cute hedgehog! Take a look at Tapestry to see more. If you have any issues accessing Tapestry please let me know. You can contact me on hollya@crowmoorschool.co.uk or see me on the playground.

We had a wonderful morning and cannot thank the Friends enough for paying for that for us. We haven’t managed to get many pennies in our jar for the coin challenge yet, so it would be lovely to see if we could fill it up a bit more before the end of term so they can continue to support us with arranging such lovely things in future.

In Maths we have been learning about doubling, looking for doubles in dominoes and playing doubles games. The children have also enjoyed working on their subitising and fact recall playing on their Numbots accounts.

Please don’t forget to read with your child and record in their yellow reading record. It is really important for them to read and re-read books so they can recognise more and more words by sight. With regular practice at home they will make greater progress and become more fluent. Even if they do not read the whole book just a few pages a day will help. Thank you.

Have a lovely weekend.
