Amethyst & Emerald Blog - Friday 9th September 2022

 Happy Friday everybody - we have all had such a wonderful first week in Key Stage 1! All the children have settled in really well and have worked very hard! Our project this term is "999! What's Your Emergency?" and as a way into this we made a shocking discovery of a trophy theft from the hall!

We all went to the hall to investigate the crime scene...



Being great detectives, we quickly gathered clues...

This led us to some possible suspects...

We prepared some questions and interrogated the suspects before accusing them!

You will be glad to know, the trophies were all recovered thanks to the children deductive skills! It was lots of fun and a massive THANK YOU to Mrs O'Donoghue, Mr Cole and Mrs Branch for being such willing suspects!

Overview Meeting - Monday 12th September

Hopefully you will have received a text this week to give you a heads up for our Overview Meeting which will be at 2:30pm on Monday. If you arrive a bit before this time at the school office, we will let you into Amethyst Class to share with you some important information about life in Key Stage 1. The meeting will need to end at 3:00pm prompt so as to let the children back into class from PE ready to go home.

Please don't worry too much if you cannot attend this meeting as we will send home a copy of all the information shared in the week. We look forward to seeing you on Monday!

Baby Photos

In science we are learning about living things and their life cycles. We will be looking at growth and how we have changed since birth. If you could send in a photograph (not too big!) of your child as a baby for use in our lesson, it would be greatly appreciated.

Please name the photo on the back and we will copy it and send the original back to you. Alternatively, if you would prefer to send it digitally then please do so using our KS1 email address below

Homework Books

We will be issuing your child with a maths homework book next Friday. We will explain the expectations of homework both at our Overview Meeting and in next week's blog.

In the meantime, don't forget to keep up all your fantastic efforts with your reading at home - it will make a huge impact on your child's reading development.

If you have any issues or questions, please, please come and see us at the end of the day. Just come down the steps to see us!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Best wishes

Mr Jude & Mrs Yuille
