Well week 2 of Summer term has flown by! The children have been doing some super writing in literacy, writing captions for the Elmer pictures they ordered last week, then they have been practising writing lots of describing words to write about Elmer and the other grey elephants too.
In Maths we have continued looking at numbers beyond ten, recognising them as one 10 and a number of ones. We have also been doing some estimating and the children were brilliant at recognising if an amount was ‘more’ or ‘fewer’ than ten, showing all the hard work they have put in on subitising is paying off! 😁
We have also started to explore a little more about India following the children’s interests, looking briefly at the weather, capital city, the most famous landmark, food, animals and clothes. We will continue this over the next few weeks in more detail and are planning to create our own class book, all about India. Thank you to those who helped their child access their email and complete the India quiz. We will be doing more fun things like this in future, so watch out for announcements on our page. 😊
Our certificate winner this week is Declan – well done!
Just a little reminder to ensure you record in your child’s reading record every time they read with you. Books are changed after the second recorded read so if it is only recorded once it will not be changed.
PE continues to be on Fridays this term so please send your child to school wearing their PE kit every Friday.
Hope you have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend. 😊

Ola!
The poster says it all… we had a fabulous “Mexican Day” on Thursday but we were all shattered on Friday! Thank you for helping to dress your children in the colours of the Mexican flag – they looked incredibly colourful – we have some great photos! Watch this space for the pic collages the children have made to advertise the day. The children enjoyed making Chili Con Carnie, sour cream dip and salsa which was then followed by doughnuts dipped in chocolate, cinnamon and sugar and finally a drink of pineapple, orange and lemon juice. I hope the children will share their new skills and help you out when it comes to peeling and chopping salads and vegetables over the coming weeks. They also completed some sensational pieces of art work which will be displayed in the classroom – well done to Mya, you received the Golden Certificate for your stunning pic collage!
As a lead into our science next term we collected the seeds from the peppers and the chilies and the stones from the avocado, next week we hope to plant them. We also have some marigolds to plant to cheer up the area outside our classroom.
We will continue to work on decimals in maths and complete our posters in literacy. The guided reading groups are working well. No spellings this week but watch this space next week.
Thank you for completing the parent evening slips: you will receive an email next week with your TEAMS time slot. We have tried our very best with the times we have allocated you – it will be a new experience for us all keeping to allocated times.
We hope you all have a super Bank Holiday weekend. If the weather falls cold reading together as a family is a real treat. Stay safe and enjoy the extra day at home.
