Hello everyone,
Welcome to our last half term – the year has gone so quickly! Our trip to the Sea Life Centre was a great success, the children had a wonderful time and it was so good to see their enthusiasm and excitement. We saw amazing creatures and learnt many amazing facts about different sea creatures – the giant turtle and the stingrays were big favourites. Can I say a big thank you to our mums who came along to help and I’m sure they will agree that the children behaved brilliantly.
This week we have been researching and writing facts about different sea creatures using the internet, reading books with a sea theme and making fish and turtles in the creative area. Our fishy theme will continue for the next few weeks in preparation for our assembly on 1st July.
A big well done to the children for walking around to the classroom on their own in the mornings – we are very proud with how sensible they have been. Because the children are now preparing to move onto Year1, at dinnertime the children are now given a dinner plate which they carry on a tray instead of the dinner trays which they used to eat off – again they have done this very well and it has made them feel very grown up.
This week the children have been given spellings to learn. They will be given new spellings to learn every Monday and it would be very helpful if you could spend a couple of minutes each day to learn their words – the best method is for your child to read the word, cover it up, write the word and then check it.
Finally in preparation for September the children will need a school tracksuit for when they do outside P.E in Year 1.You can order your tracksuit on line on the school website or via the school office. Have a good weekend everyone!
Miss Burns
