We had a wonderful day today to mark our 8 weeks back at school. We began our day with art and learned how to make bat silhouettes using pastels, before taking part in a Dress Up parade around our school. After small break, we became Scientists and tried to re-create George’s Marvellous Medicine. It wasn’t long until it was Golden Time and then we were ready for home.
I hope you and your families have a lovely mid-term and I look forward to seeing all of the children on Monday week. Louise.

We have been working on our tricky words daily using games and play-dough.
In Maths, we revisited 2D shapes and made our very own shape monsters. We also spent time revising o’clock and half past.
First Class have also been busy learning lots of new poems and one of our favourites was, ‘I’m Very Happy To Be Me.’ This poem celebrated individuality and encouraged the children to appreciate their own unique qualities.
During Story Time, we loved listening to George’s Marvellous Medicine and we designed our own book covers.
Keep up the hard work First Class!
Thanks to both teacher and parent volunteers we’re running a six week block of Be Active ASAP for our 1st Classes until the October mid-term. Pupils have been having great fun so far! Sessions will be outside for as long as we can so remember to bring your rain-jackets and water each week along with suitable footwear.
Many thanks to teachers Elaine, Amanda, Marcella, Roisin and Emily and to our parents Carole, Rachel, Karolina and Mateusz for facilitating this for our pupils.
The Teach Your Monster to Read app is free for this week only. This app is an educational game based way to help your child with their sounds, blending and tricky words. This app is aimed at children in the junior end of the school. The computer version of this game is always free but the free app offer only lasts until this Sunday 30th September.
