Well done to you all for such a fabulous week of learning.

Also to let you know on Friday afternoon we will be watching 'The Hare and the Tortoise' play in school.  I just thought I would let you know as I understand from the phonics evening some children are not talking about their day.  Hope this gives you the opportunity to ask your child about their day.

Have a lovely half term one and all.

Building a round house activity,



Also this week we have been learning to estimate in maths and writing about our trip in Literacy.  The children have investigated how to make a round house by using clay and straws.  Next week they will be investigating what material will be best to make the wall of their house.

To let you know in class we are now celebrating Wonderful Writing (Literacy), Thinking Things Through (Maths), Reading & Phonics and then the children's Handwriting.  We will be sending different handwriting sheets home for you and your child to do together, this will help them with writing in class.  Some weeks you may receive different maths problems to complete together too.
This weeks gold cup winners which will be displayed on our 'look at us' display are
Wonderful Writing - Megan & Fraser
Thinking Things Through - Nina
Reading and Phonics - William
Handwriting - Joe

Have a lovely weekend and rest up for another busy week next week.

Bug Club Homework

Class one,
I have allocated some lovely reading books for you on Bug Club.  Take a look and enjoy them. There are activities at the end of some too.  Just to let you know Bug Club does not work on iPad as it needs flash, laptop or PC are fine.
If you have trouble in anyway, please let me know.
