Amethyst, Diamond & Emerald Blog - Friday 26th March 2021

 Happy Friday and welcome to our last blog before Easter! Massive well done to all the children in Key Stage 1 who have worked so hard during the three weeks since we have been back. All the teachers have been very proud of how the children have coped and adapted to all the changes they have faced.

Emerald Class & The Easter Egg Hunt

On Thursday, all the children took part in an Easter Egg Hunt. They needed to find different card eggs spread around the playground areas and then decode anagrams on them to find an Easter word. It was all very exciting and here are Emerald Class in full swing!






Summer Term & "Down At The Bottom of The Garden"

After Easter we will be beginning our new project "Down At The Bottom of The Garden." On our webpage there is an overview of the learning that we will be covering in this project. Here is a link:

One of the tasks we do in class is creating a habitat diorama or scene in a shoebox. If you purchase new shoes during Easter, please can you keep hold of the box (so long as it is not too big!) as the children will need one to create their environmental scene. If you have any spares we would love those too!

New Dinner Menu

After Easter there will be a new 2 week rolling Menu. Here is a link to it from our newsletter:

Homework

This week, we would like the children to continue with their Maths Homework book and complete page 41

We would also encourage you strongly to keep up your child's reading over the Easter Holidays by using the Big Cat Virtual Books. You have access to the same books we have in school and in much greater numbers than ever before so please take this opportunity to keep the reading ticking over. We cannot emphasise how much this will contribute to your child's progress across the whole curriculum.

Here is the link to the login page and please get in touch if you have lost any login details:

We would all like to wish a relaxing and happy Easter Holiday!

Best wishes

Mr Jude, Mrs Yuille & Mrs O'Connor
