This half term we are exploring print making. Today we created some rotating prints and repeated patterns, using some items found in Mrs Gore’s garage! I wonder if your children can spot any prints at home?

Today I worked with some of the children on the two sounds below. I have sent home a few sheets that can help them remember the sounds. They are in book bags, please encourage your child to do these at home – there is no need to send them back in. You could also watch the videos too.

Thank you so much for making my special birthday even more special! You all gave me the best birthday greeting I think I have ever had this morning! Thank you for all the cards, cakes, gifts but most importantly the smiles x

In science we thought about hearing. This is one of our 5 senses. We also listened to lots of different types of music and how it can make us feel. Then we explored some string telephones!

Today we enjoyed some great relay games and had a go at sprinting on the race track! I was really impressed by how the children pushed themselves!

The children in Meadow 1 have gone book mad – some of them even asking to read outside at playtime! This made me so happy!

On Wednesdays this term, we will be having music lessons with the wonderful Mr Baker! The children absolutely loved their first session this week! This all fits in with our big question this half term – What makes me feel good? Music is such a powerful way to lift our spirits!

It was lovely to do our very first virtual parents evening today – I think it worked really well! I look forward to speaking to the rest of you on Thursday. On Friday I will be sending home the new Common Exception Words for the Summer Term and also our new Home Learning Leaflet. I’ve included both of these below just in case you lose the paper copy. They can also be found in the menu part of the blog!

What a great start to the term we have had! The sunny weather has been very welcome and all of the children have settled back in well. Our new big question for the half term is What makes us feel good? We will be thinking not only about our physical health but also our mental health. Our new virtual library linked to this learning can be found under the virtual library tab in the blog menu. I’ve also included a link below.

Thank you so much for your wonderful efforts in making the last day of this very long term a wordy one!

I hope you all have a wonderful break and look forward to seeing you all at the start of the Summer Term. We will start our new learning journey with our big question – What makes me feel good? We will be thinking about healthy hearts and healthy minds. I can’t wait!
