Tulip, Bluebell & Daffodil Blog - Friday 7th February 2025

 Happy Friday, everybody! It has been a very busy time in school this week but we have been exceptionally proud of how well all our children have represented our school during this time. They are truly amazing!

Visits to Holy Trinity Church

As part of our RE theme this term we have been looking at Christianity and the role of the church in the lives of Christians. To support this learning, we have arranged for each class to visit Holy Trinity Church in Rayleigh. We will be walking up to the church during morning sessions of the school day and will be back in time for lunch as normal. The dates for each class are as follows:

  • Tuesday 25th February - Tulip Class
  • Wednesday 26th February - Daffodil Class
  • Thursday 27th February - Bluebell Class
There are no other changes to our normal school day for this visit. We will share with you our time at the church in the newsletter!

Maths Homework

This week, we would like you to look at pages 38 & 39.

For Year 1's this focuses on quarters. Again, it is helpful when discussing fractions to relate it closely to division. So when discussing finding quarter, relate it to the same as dividing it in 4. The game below explores how to recognise halves and quarters in shapes.

Halves and Quarters

For Year 2's this focuses on thirds and quarters. As usual, relate these mathematical concept back to the basic operations of maths - dividing by 3 or by 4. The game below explores finding quarters and three quarters by sharing.

Don't forget to keep reading at home and do the next page in your comprehension homework books.

Have a great weekend!
