Happy Friday everybody - we have made it to Half Term! This week we have been developing our comprehension skills in English, exploring techniques we can use to answer questions about pieces of text that we have read. In maths, we have been looking at symmetry in 2D shapes and how we can describe position and turns of these shapes.
Charity Art Installation
During the half term holiday there will be an art installation in Rayleigh in conjunction with the Head to Toe Clubfoot Charity. Children from several schools in Rayleigh, including Down Hall, have created colourful feathers and these will form part of the decorations in the High Street. All the children in Key Stage 1 have had a chance to make their own feather so you may like to go and take a look!
Half Term
It has been a long first half term and we are very eager that all the children have a good break during this coming week. We, therefore, will not be setting any formal homework this week. However, remember our project is "Down At The Bottom Of The Garden" and we have been looking at a variety of creatures that live in a range of habitats local to us. If you have the opportunity to go for a walk in the woods, explore some rockpools or just spot the birds in the garden this will be a great way to inspire a love of nature and the much needed chance to recharge the batteries for all!
We hope you have a lovely week off and we will see you all in June!
Much love
The Key Stage 1 Team:)
