Happy Friday, everybody! It has been a very exciting week in KS1 as we enjoyed a visit from Chris the Punch and Judy man! He gave us all the things we needed to make our own mini-booths and puppets and then we went in the hall to watch the show. Chris talked to us about the history of Punch and Judy and how it has been performed in this country for over 350 years! All the children loved the show and it was lovely to see such happy faces and laughter!

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.
Maths Homework
This week, we would like you to look at pages 60 & 61.
For Year 1's this looks at measuring time. Understanding how time is measured helps work out slower and quicker times and whether times are earlier or later than each other. Try timing your child doing different tasks and compare the times that it took. Also reinforce how 60 seconds make up a minute and 60 minutes make up an hour.
Below is a link to some games to help support these ideas:
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 fantastic weekend!
Best wishes
Mr Jude, Mrs Yuille & Miss Smith
