‘Mary, our mother, loves us and wants us to be happy and kind.’
We had a lovely start to our week continuing our lenten journey at Mass with our year 6 buddies, Nursery also joined us. The children sat beautifully and were excellent role models to Nursery.
Conversation starter
What are you proud of yourself for this week?
What have we been learning this week:
There’s been ducklings, baking and so much more this week! Another week of beautiful weather.
Drawing club:
This week we read Superworm, ask you child if they can remember the actions and what the words mean?
Some of us have been writing sentences! We are starting to use capital letters, finger spaces, writing on the lines and full stops. We are becoming independent writers too! I thought some Year 6’s had snuck in to do our writing, it is lovely to see how proud the children are of their writing and most importantly they want to do it.
Superworm vocabulary:
Zooming: to move very quickly
Superhuman: possessing powers beyond what humans have, e.g. super strength/speed.
Timid: being a little bit shy or nervous.
Heroic: being very brave
Calamity: a really bad thing that happens, causing a lot of trouble or damage
Wriggling: to twist and turn the body with quick movements from side to side.
Indestructible: something is so strong that it can't be broken or destroyed.
Alter: to change it, usually in a small way e.g. to add a bit more colour to a picture to make it even better.
Understanding the World: On Wednesday we had some visitors the ducklings spent the whole day in our classroom! We read to them and they had a swim in our tuff tray, we all got to stroke them too.

Nursery came to tell us their story they wrote about a wolf it was amazing!
Clarence House: We all went together this morning as unfortunately one of the Nursery team members was ill. We retold our musical story to the residents and sang this little light of mine. We gave out our cards and our gifts we made. We brought smiles to all the residents and they were all happy to see us again. I am so proud of them they were a credit to our school. Thank you to our adult helpers, you make these trips possible.

Show and Tell:
Please look below to see which day your child can share their show and tell news. We love to celebrate each child’s achievements in class. So we use show and tell as an opportunity to share things that they are proud of, or to share something that is important to them. Great show and tell examples are: sharing photos, bringing in certificates or medals, a souvenir from a trip out or something that they have made at home.
Important Reminders:
Polite reminder that we are a Nut free school. Please can you bring in healthy snacks please refer to the poster for suitable snacks, we always have fruit avalible too.
PE
Our PE days are Tuesday (outside) and Friday (inside). On these days, children can come to school in their PE uniform and will remain in this for the day. We kindly ask that velcro trainers (white, black or navy) are worn as this allows the children to be indepoendent when taking their shoes off and putting them back on. Polite reminder that for health and safety reasons, no jewellery is to be worn on PE days. We kindly ask that this is removed at home before coming into school.Art T-shirt
Please can you bring in an art T-shirt, if you haven’t already, these help us keep uniforms as clean as possible.Jumpers: please can you check that your child has brought the right jumper or PE jacket home, they can easily get mixed up when bags are being packed, there are a few missing in class, thank you.
