Dear Parents/Guardians,
This week we have been doing activities based on ‘The Gingerbread Man’. As well as reading different versions of the story we have also made a zig – zag book of ‘The Gingerbread Man’ where the children had to write the beginning, middle and end of the story. Whilst sharing story books with your children at home perhaps you could ask them to tell you what happened at the beginning, middle and end of the story. We also enjoyed making and decorating gingerbread men and I’m sure they will enjoy eating them after school today!
A Maths challenge has been set up in the classroom which we will change every week. This week we have been working on estimating. The children have been very keen to estimate the amount of sweets in the jar in the hope of winning the contents if they estimate correctly or make the closest estimate.
Next week we will continue looking at Traditional Tales and making special things in preparation for Mother’s Day. On Thursday it is World Book Day so it would be fantastic if the children could come to school dressed up as a book character. I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday or Wednesday for parent’s evening – if you can’t make your allocated appointment please come and see me to make an alternative appointment.
Finally, good look to Ted and Finn who are taking part in the children’s Coventry Half Marathon on Sunday!
Yours sincerely
Miss Burns
