We have had a fantastic year teaching your children.

Thank you for all your support at home this year its has made a huge help to your child.

I have popped a small packet of seeds into your child's red folder of work which you will find in their bags.

On the back of this packet, I have written the colour the Read Write Inc your child is working on.

This is only for RWI and not other schemes.

'Songbirds' and some floppy Phonics books also nice to read. As long as they are enjoying it that's the main thing.

Please take a look then you can go onto the 'Oxford Owl' website link.

FREE to sign up and FREE books to read on here.

Please look on Microsoft Teams for all this information.

I have also added the links for all the 'Special Friends' for the sounds taught to date. This comes live on Friday 19th. You have 3 months to look thought these short session with your child. The are fun and last 8 minutes each sound. One a day would be great to help you child remember them maximum 5 a week.

For Maths you can down load the FREE' White Rose one minute Maths' app . This has plenty quick quizzes to do to keep the children sharp with their new subitising skills. Remember Counting is not Calculating.

Have a fantastic holiday and we will miss you all.

Mrs Oddy, Mrs Hemingway and Mrs Pearce.

What a great transition day. The children were really excited to go in to class 1 with Mrs Parker and Mrs Pearce. They had a great time enjoyed having three play times and but I believe they were all shattered by the end of the day.

We had had a week of thinking about kindness, gratitude and people that we trust.

We have been talking about the things we are good at to make us feel great!

In math's this week we have drawn maps and made obstacle courses outside.

In art we made a moving picture of Gerald the Giraffe and continued the drawing of a Giraffe.

What another busy week 2 more to go!

Here are a few photos!

Spacial awareness Giraffes

Maps from home to school

Trying a healthy rice salad.

Thank you for your continued support.

What a fantastic trip we have on Thursday.

Staff and children thoroughly the whole day.

We saw many wonderful animals including: giant Lizards, lemurs, meerkats, duck, parrots, otters, butterflies , crocodiles, ants..........

Photo's of the trip will be posted next week!

What a warm week we have had looking at animals in our woodland and deciding what we would like best and which would be a suitable pet.

What feature our animals have how many legs, fur or feathers? We have also touch on classification of animals putting them into categories of: reptile, mammals, birds, fish.

We have been adding numbers together using our skills and writing number sentences.

Next week is transition week on the 2nd July.

You might want to talk to your children about their new teacher Mrs Parker and moving to Y1 in September.

It is such an exciting time for your child and to some it may be a little unsettling so the transitions are to reassure the children. It will then happen smoothly in September and the children are ready and comfortable in their new classroom. They may have questions that you can answer for them.
