‘The world belongs to those who read.’

Wow, the children have been so resilient this week, it has been very hot and we have had our Phonics screening. I am so proud of everyone they have all worked incredibly hard and stayed focused.
As a treat we enjoyed ice pops and a film this afternoon, thank you again for all of your hard work at home, it has shown this week and I can’t believe how much progress has been made.
Maths: We have revisited teen numbers again and used the rekenreks to make these number remembering 10 and a bit. Our stem sentences we have been practising are 10 needs …… to make…. ….. is made from 10 and ….
English: We have started editing and marking our wonderful work from last half term, we are looking forward to our new topic next week Pets and Trains all will be revealed in the next few weeks :).
PE: We practised our bouncing skills on Monday and on my duties I brought the balls out so we could practise during playtime, we loved it! Today we practised our Sports Day activities and races, we are excited for our Sports Day on Tuesday.RE: We loved our lesson with Mrs Hotchkiss, we learnt that Jesus showed his great power when he calmed the wind and waves. We reflected that we can ask Jesus to help us when we are afraid. Here is our re-enactment of Jesus and the storm.

Let’s Celebrate:
As we have all been amazing, we couldn’t pick two children for our certificates so it is for the whole class for all the learning characters:
Well Done Year 1, it has been a very busy week, You have shown enthusiasm and creativity in our Phonics sessions. You were all focused during the screening, we have worked hard together and supported each other. We were determined to remember our ‘special friends’, ‘Fred talk’ and ‘read the word’ and were reflective with our learning to keep improving. I am so proud of each of you and for all of your hard work.
Keep it up :)
Henry is going home with this person for a brilliant week, you have been focused this week in all lessons, well done :).

Sports Day is on Tuesday 20th June Weather permitting at 1:30 we are looking forward to seeing you :).
Gym Jam Jog is on Wednesday 21st June at 8am don’t forget your sponsorship forms and come in your pyjamas.
Reminders:
Preparing for the weather: As the weather is improving children are allowed to bring in a sunhat, which can be worn at break times and any sun cream that is brought in must be applied by the child themselves, roll on sun creams are easier to apply. We also ask that no sunglasses are to be brought into the school. Thank you.
Please can you try and bring in healthy snacks for your children to eat at break times, we always have fruit in school that the children can have.
Please can you double check that all items of clothing are labelled.
Please bring in spare clothes for your child.
Please check the home learning section for the homework,
Please make sure you don’t bring any nuts in for snack or in packed lunches, thank you.
Please can you ensure that your children do not bring any valuables into school as they can easily go missing.
Have a lovely weekend
