Happy Friday, everybody! This week has been exciting in meeting our new class teacher for September but there is even more things happening next week! We are very much looking forward to seeing everyone at Open School next Tuesday and then all taking part in our Sports Day on Friday.
Upcoming Dates
- Tuesday 4th July - Open School 4:30pm-6:30pm
- Friday 7th July - Sports Day (KS1 in the afternoon)
PSHE - Changing Me
This half term in Personal, Social and Health Education we are learning about how to cope with change. This includes learning about change in ourselves as we grow from a baby to how we are now. It also includes a lesson next week in which we will be noting the differences between male and female bodies, using the correct terminology. This lesson is very much laying the foundations for future Relationships and Sex Education, which is now a statutory requirement to be taught in schools. We see this as a crucial part of Safeguarding our children and keeping them safe. We are planning to deliver this lesson during the next couple of weeks.
Sports Day
On Friday 7th July we will be holding our Sports Day. Please see the letter on the website explaining the structure of the day.
Some key points to note:
- Sports Day begins for KS1 at 1:30pm.
- Children come to school on Friday in their PE kit but we would like your child to wear a colour t-shirt that matches their team colour: Brooklyn - Blue; Deepdene - Green; Hambro - Yellow; Teignmouth - Red.
- Parents can join their child for a picnic lunch which will be 12:00-1:15pm. Please ensure that you complete the Google Form on the Sports Day letter so we know what your child is doing at lunch time on this day - you can use the link below. Please collect your child from their classroom at 12:00pm as you would usually at the end of the day. The children will be collected from the field by their teacher at 1:15pm.
- Please note that the above timings are approximate but we will try to stick as close as possible to them.
Maths Homework
This week, we would like you to look at pages 64 & 65.
For Year 1's this looks at 3D shapes. This covers the names of the 3D shapes the children should know and it is important to discuss the mathematical properties of these shapes, that is the number of faces, vertices and edges.
Below is a link to some games to help support these ideas.
For Year 2's this looks at drawing shapes and patterns. Patterns can be repeating patterns, sequencing patterns (like at the bottom of page 64) or symmetrical patterns. Look around you and see where you can find shape patterns.
If you have any issues or questions, please, please come and see us at the end of the day - we would love to see you!
Have a lovely weekend!
Much love
Mr Jude & Mrs Yuille
