Summer 1
Week ending 26th April
What a super week it has been, with a little bit of sunshine as well 😊
We have continued learning about Space, in particular finding out about the First Lunar Landing and looked at how historians use evidence (newspapers, photographs, artefacts) to learn about events and people in the past.
In English, we have been reading a new class book all about an alien who crash lands on Earth named Beegu. We thought about how she might have felt at different parts of the story and had fun using the modelling clay to make our own alien models!
As the weather is becoming warmer please can you check that your child’s school jumper is clearly named to prevent any mix ups and that they have their water bottle in school every day. Many thanks.
Week ending 19th April
Well what a busy week it has been in 1G! The Year 5’s came to visit from the Junior School and shared some of the books they had made with us. It was lovely to see some big brothers and sisters 😊
We have begun our new topic Let’s Explore! this week and have been learning all about space. They children have been enthusiastically telling me everything they know and I think I might have some future astronauts in class! 😊
We used our non-fiction books to research and find out about The Solar System. The children worked in groups to make their own fact files. The children really enjoyed discussing, writing and assembling their facts to produce their group piece.
In History the children have been learning about the Space Race between Russia and The United States of America. We found out about why Laika the dog and Monkey’s Able and Baker are remembered. We look forward to continuing with this work next week. In Music we listened to Gustav Holst The Planets. We also enjoyed listening to songs about the primary and dwarf planets.

What an exciting way to start back at school with our Science week all about air, a visit from Shadine van de Merwe (Manchester Thunder Netball player who also plays internationally for South Africa) and Scootfit, all in one week!
Eid Mubarak to the children and families who celebrated Eid this week.
