Welcome back to the Summer term.

This year has flown by and we really think the children have really grown taller over Easter and are getting ready for the Year 1 with Mrs Parker and Mrs McLoughlin.

I am going to share our words of the week with you every week so you can also incorporate them in your daily conversations.

This week our words are - Habitat and Empathy

We will add to these words every week.

Our story this week was Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis.

Here are a few highlights:

Spring has arrived this week.

First of all I would like to say a massive thank you to you all for coming into school and working on the Head project. The children thoroughly enjoyed this.

If you could spare a few hours in an afternoon anytime we always need people to listen to the children read. You would need to have a DBS if you have not already got one which only takes a short time.

We have had a lovely time looking for signs of spring in our woodlands, listening and watching the birds and talking about the change of season.

Don't forget the clocks Spring forward this weekend!

Here are a few highlights.

Thank you for all you support at home.

What a busy week we had had in our Reception Class.

Firstly thank you for sending in all your pictures.

We had fun looking at them all and the children talking about family members.

If you child says they had not seen theirs on the big white board please just email them again to reception@netherthongprimary.co.uk and we will make time to show them.

I had to search in 4 different areas to find some.

We will see you all next week on Monday, Tuesday or Friday 9-10am in school to support your child with the 'Heads Character' art project.

In this time slot we will have our Family Sharing time not on the 30th March as I will not be in school that afternoon.

You can talk to your child and share their work in their folders.

We started the week off with the science afternoons which the children really enjoyed. We made slime, rocket fuel, helicopters, rainbows by colour mixing and many more. They still need to complete two experiments at home to get their full 'Science Passport'.

We have been looking at repeating patterns in maths this week.

Our focus this week was looking at how we change over time.

When we were a baby that is now in the past, our history.

In the future - We will grow and become teenagers then adults then elderly people.

On Friday 17th we also had fun learning about St Patricks day and why we support 'Red Nose Day' with another chance to see our buddies!

Also we squeezed in a Mother Day card and bunch of flowers!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO EVERYONE and to Oscars MUM!

Thank you for your support at home.
