Happy Friday everybody - we hope you have had a good week! In class this week we have been finding out about garden birds and other types of animals in Science and English so we can write reports to share the facts we have found out. We have also been developing our strategies for subtraction in Maths. Here are a few things to flag up as we move into next week.
Shoebox Reminder
Don't forget that if you have a spare shoebox to hand could you please bring it in. We will soon be planning how we will make our habitat dioramas but will be unable to start construction unless everybody has one. Even if you have already brought a shoebox in, if you have a spare it will be greatly received by someone who currently does not have one.
Coats
Despite moving into the last week of April, Spring is stubbornly remaining elusive and, combined with our ongoing ventilation of the classrooms, it can still be a bit chilly. Therefore, please ensure that your child has a jacket or fleece to keep them warm and some kind of coat in case of showers as we will still be going outside at playtimes.
Big Cat eBook Library
A huge thank you for all the work that you have been doing in keeping up regular reading with your child using our eBook platform, Big Cat. Please keep going with this as regular reading, little and often, can have a massive impact on your child's progress across the whole curriculum and prepare them for the next stage of their learning journey with us. You have access to the same books we have in school and in much greater numbers than ever before but please let us know if you need more or if the books they currently have on their "shelf" are becoming too easy. Also, if you would like us to remove some of the older books from the virtual bookshelf so choosing books is easier, just let us know.
Here is the link to the login page and please get in touch if you have lost any login details or if you need your book collection amended in any way
Homework
This week, we would like the children to continue with their Maths Homework book and complete page 45.
Don't forget, we are always always available on our Key Stage 1 email. If you have any questions or concerns, please just ask and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Wishing you a great weekend.
Best wishes
Mr Jude, Mrs Yuille & Mrs O'Connor
