Happy half term everybody!

The children have worked really hard this half term and deserve a well-earned break. Let's hope the beautiful weather continues!

After the holiday, we will be continuing with our 'seaside' project and looking forward to our visit to the beach. 

We would like all the children to have a relaxing week off, so we are not sending homework books home this week, but if you can keep up the reading little and often this will have a hugely positive effect on their progress. It would also be good if those children that cannot yet tie their own shoe laces, could learn to do so.

Have a lovely break and for those of you fortunate enough to be going away, have a wonderful holiday.

See you on Tuesday 2nd June

Best wishes

Hello Everybody!

We have all been very busy this week creating our shape poems and are now learning the story 'A Hole in the Bottom of the Sea'. Our apologies if the children drive you a little crazy this weekend singing the song. We have been learning it to help us to sequence the story, which is also an ocean food chain! We will be adding our own sea creatures to the story next week.

Homework this week is English comprehension.

Early Comprehension books - page 5

First Comprehension books - page 7

The children also have their new Animaphonics books in their bags along with their spelling sheets (Year 2 children) or Phonics check words (Year 1 children).

Swimming was cancelled this week for 1 group of children in Daffodil Class and all of Buttercup Class due to the impending stormy weather. All chidlren that missed their swim this week will swim NEXT THURSDAY instead.

Have a great weekend!

Love The Key Stage 1 Team x

Happy Friday everybody! 

This week the children have been planning their sea creature shape poems in preparation for writing them next week. They have also been multiplying, grouping and sharing in Maths.

The Maths homework this week reflects the learning that has taken place in class. 

Maths Year 1 - CGP book pages 32 and 33 Multiplying

Maths Year 2 - Multiplying in any order sheet. This will help to embed the childrens knowledge of multiplication number sentences and that the multiplication can be written in either order to get the same answer.

The children also have their spellings in their bags or their phonics check practise sheets, along with their Animaphonics reading books.

Don't forget that Key Stage 1 children will be swimming every Thursday up until half term!

If you have any questions or concerns at any time please come and speak to us at the end of the day. We will always do our best to help.

Have a fabulous weekend!
