In English and Phonics lessons this week, we made a missing poster for the baby mammoth and we have been working really hard on our split digraphs. We also did some very special speaking and listening too with our poetry performances in class. The children blew us away with the lovely poems – some made us laugh, some made us quite emotional – and it has been a very difficult decision to choose just two finalists. All adults and children had a vote and we wish Finley and Caitlin well in Wednesday’s whole school final.

In maths, we continued working on numbers and place value to 50. Homework this week recaps on this as well as our split digraphs.

On Thursday, seven of the children took part in a Mini Kickers football tournament. They all played very well and had big smiles on their faces, especially when they won silver medals! Once kits have been washed, please return to school, thank you.

The highlight of the week was our wellbeing morning which included our visit from Maddie and Rupert, two Shetland Ponies from Spirit of The Herd. The children loved patting and grooming them – see photos on Twitter.

Please note that as from Monday, the grassy bank area will be closed before and after school.

 

Have a great weekend!
