Hello,
Please spend time each week to help your child to read.
We can see the improvement in many children who are having a go at home.
It makes a massive difference to a child's confidence and progression in these early stages of learning to read.
If you are unsure of how to help PLEASE come and see us and we are here to support you, to help your child at home.
This week have been learning about jobs of Police officers and Life boat, life guards at the coast.
We realise just because we don't live near the sea we do have life guards at Holmfirth Swimming Pool to keep us safe our our local community.
We have a Police Station near the swimming pool too.
We made our own boats using shapes cut from shapes using lots of mathematical language.
We also did an experiment outside to see what objects would float or sink.
We were composing and decomposing 5 which is part of our Early Learning Goal that we can recall all the number facts to 5 instantly.
We have use counters, 5 frames and cubes inside and outside.
Thank you also to Nurse Liz and Nurse Rebecca who came into school and talked to the the childen about their jobs in our community.
Thank you for you support,
Mrs Oddy and Mrs Hemingway

This week we have been learning about Vets, Doctors and Nurses.
They all have really important jobs in our community and we have both of them in Holmfirth.
We are learning in our community there are lots of people with jobs that help us if we are sick, need glasses, need to see a dentist or there is a fire.
We also learnt about how important it is to be safe on the roads especially in winter and why reflectors work.
On Friday we celebrated children in need and talked about why we need to support other children who are less fortunate than ourselves.
I wonder what we will discover next week?
Making a first aid kit!
Playing Doctors and Nurses
Inspirational patterns
Playing at being a Vet.
Thank you for your support.

Hello all,
We have had another busy week.
Please remember to return your reading books and records on a Monday as this is the day we listen to all the children and change their home school books.
There may be a book or a sheet in your child's bag. The Ditty sheet is for your child to read.
We will talk to you about this individually at the parents sharing evening on Thursday.
We have been learning about why we need to visit the dentist and opticians on a regular basis..
We also learnt about Remembrance day and why people where the poppies.
We understand now why we need to clean our teeth with a fluoride tooth paste as least twice a day and know which foods are unhealthy for our teeth.
Here are some phots of the week.
