Dinosaur Habitats
Thank you so much for all your donations of shoe boxes and natural materials. The children had a blast creating their dinosaur habitats and they do look fabulous! We’ve only got one more week of our Dinosaur topic but we do end it with a bang as we have a very fun Dinosaur workshop on Monday 31st March where the children will become palaeontologists and identify bones and hunt for fossils. Thank you to our wonderful TAFF for organising the Mother’s Day Flower Shop this Friday. The flowers look beautiful and will be very much appreciated by all the mums!
This week in maths, we have been revisiting number bonds. We looked at numbers up to 10 to show different ways to be make each number including cherry diagrams, money, pictorial representations, tens frames and number sentences. In English, we have been refreshing our minds about grammar. We looked at full stops and capital letters as well as using ‘and’ and ‘because’ to extend sentences. We then used our dinosaur habitats that we made in science to generate fresh ideas and help us learn new vocabulary.
Next week, we have got a fun week in including our Dinosaur Workshop, Giants in School Day and lots of fun Easter activities to finish off a busy term. We will also be finishing up our RE learning which has focussed on how Christians welcome people into the church the same way as Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem.
Just a few reminders:
- Please make sure all your child’s belongings are labelled. Things do go missing and I’m convinced there is a black hole somewhere in the school that sucks them in and they never come back.
- Please send your child’s water bottle and book bag into school every day.
PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE – Our Year 1 PE day is now on a Monday for Bumblebee Class and Tuesday for Hedgehog Class.
- Reading books in school are changed once a week and this will be every Monday. The books will be collected in in the morning and a new one will be issued that same afternoon.
- Library book change will be on a Friday.
