What a busy week!
The children have worked very hard and have been ‘up to all sorts’.
In RE the children are becoming very competent at organising and leading class prayer services. They have matured and are able to offer some thoughtful prayers. If you are in school take a look at the Year 1 Easter display in the hall. Each child produced a beautiful angel based on the book The Easter Story by Brian Wildsmith.
Our key text in English was Spells by Emiliy Gravitt. The tale of a sad, lonely frog who wants to become a handsome prince. The children really enjoyed the story and the unique style of illustrations. I will let them tell you what happens and what the frog turns into!
Maths was a week of understanding and using place value. The children worked on mystery numbers, writing numbers and different ways of representing hundreds, tens & ones. There was an emphasis on presentation, with some children setting out their work just like the children in Key Stage 2.
We continued our science topic humans and other animals. The children had lots of fun labelling and matching different parts of animals.
The children made a great start to their athletics lessons, hurdles and spatial awareness. I was delighted with their effort, behaviour and achievement.
Thank you for supporting our St George’s Day celebrations. The children looked great in their red and white, complete with a princess and some knights. The afternoon was a real success the children enjoyed making their flags and learning all about St George. The PTA did an amazing job decorating the hall and St George and Askcabar made a real impression.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs McGovern and Miss Fox
