Happy half term everybody!
What A busy, fun half term it has been. Our trip to Colchester Castle has really made our project come alive for the children and has enthused them to learn more about knights and castles.
Thank you all for responding so quickly to our request for boxes and tubes to make our castles. These are now completed and should be on their way home to you soon. The children have put a lot of effort into these and should be able to tell you the names of all the different parts.
We will be continuing our project next half term up to the Easter break, when it will change on our return to school to 'At the Seaside'.
Homework
Reading: The children's Animaphonics books have been changed and so have the colour band books. Please continue to read at home regularly. It can make a huge difference to the progress that the children make.
Maths: This week the focus has been on sequencing days/months and time.
Year 1 - CGP book pages 54 and 55 please.
Year 2 - CGP book pages 54 and 55 please.
Top Marks is a great website to access games in any subject. We use it in school to warm up for or consolidate our learning in Maths. There are some very useful games on there that you may wish to complete with your child at home.
This link takes you to 'ordering and sequencing' games.

We hope you all have a fantastic half term break and look forward to seeing you on TUESDAY 24TH FEBRUARY.
Best wishes
