Reading for Pleasure
Your child has brought a book home to share with you which they have chosen themself. Every Friday your child will have the opportunity to choose a new book to bring home. Please ensure your child brings their book back to school every Friday, so a new one can be chosen. (PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL START AGAIN SOON)

Dear Parents / Carers,
This week in English, we began to re-write the story of ‘Where the Wild Things Are’. Mr McManus (our student teacher) introduced a new character called Tina. We had to think how she travelled to the land of where the wild things are and who she met. Year 1's when writing their sentences for the four different parts of the story, had to include an adjective and simile.
In maths, Reception have been learning about the days of the week. Year 1’s have been looking at numbers to 50 and how many tens and ones there are in those numbers.
In RE we spoke about the events that happened on Easter Sunday. We talked about why we have Easter Eggs and how the egg symbolises new life. In an egg shape, the children drew pictures from the Easter story that they could remember.
In Science we have continued identifying animals. This week we looked at birds and reptiles.
In History we talked about Mary Anning. We became fossil hunters and had to match pictures of dinosaur fossils to the dinosaur.
Our new ipads are a big hit! We have practised logging into our account on Purple Mash and completing our 2do task! This week we had to follow instructions to create our bird picture. We then logged out so another friend could do their work.
New reading books and sounds have been sent home. Year 1’s have brought home their new spellings to practise for ‘have a go day’ next Friday.
