Friday 13^th June

Welcome back to school everyone! I hope you all had a restful break. We have completed the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check and the children worked so hard, I am proud of each and every one of you. The results will be sent with the end of year report.

This week the children have been excited to start our new topic on Let’s Explore…Kenya! In Geography we have found out where Kenya is in the world and learnt about the weather and how the seasons are different to ours. In our English lessons we used a non-fiction book to find out some interesting facts about the animals that you might see on safari and wrote our own fact files.

In maths we have started our topic on multiplication and division by counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s and recognising odd and even numbers. You can help your child at home by counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s or solving questions such as, “I have 3 groups of 10, how many do I have altogether?” I have also sent home some homework today to help consolidate this work.

Trip to Blackpool Zoo on Monday 16^th June

We are all excited and can’t wait to go on our class trip. Just a couple of things to remember. Please wear school uniform and bring your packed lunch in a labelled disposable bag.

You will not need your green book bag or reading folder on this day.
