Happy Friday, everybody! What a beautiful, sunny week we have all enjoyed in Key Stage 1 this week! Oh no, now it's raining! And now it's sunny again! Due to the very changeable weather at the moment, can you please ensure that your child comes to school ready for anything the Great British Weather can throw at them! Please also ensure that all cardigans and coats are clearly named. Before we move on to our messages for next week, we have an exciting date to announce!
Sports Day 2022
Sport's Day will be held this year on Friday 8th July! This will be in the morning for KS2 and in the afternoon for KS1. All parents will be able to come and watch this year and there will be a picnic lunch which you can attend as well. There will be further details to follow but we wanted you to have the date in your diary now so you can make plans as need be. We are looking forward to seeing you all there!
Platinum Jubilee Celebrations
On Friday 27th May, we will be marking the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a special picnic lunch for the children. You should have received a letter this week which you can either give your lunch preference or state that that your child will be bringing a packed lunch from home. Please return this slip by Monday next week at the latest if you have not already done so.
The PTA have also arranged a non-school uniform day for Friday 27th May and have asked children to wear red, white and/or blue clothing for a suggested donation of £1.
Maths Homework
This week we would like you to look at pages 58-59.
For Year 1's this looks at telling the time on an analogue clock. For Year 1, the expectation is that children can read the time to the hour and the half hour.
Below are some games for reinforcing these ideas, scroll down on the page for games relating to time:

For Year 2's, this is looking at 2D shapes. As well as being able to name common 2D shapes, children need to be able to describe their mathematical properties e.g. how many sides or vertices (corners) it has, whether it is symmetrical and if it has any right angles.
Below are some games for exploring shapes:

Don't forget to keep up all your fantastic efforts with your reading at home as well as either your phonics or comprehension homework books - it will make a huge impact on your child's reading development.
As always, we are available on our Key Stage 1 email. However, we would encourage you to come and see us at the end of the day if there are any issues or questions that you have. Just come down the steps to see us!
