Week Beginning 15th February.
Dear parents,
Next week is our final week before half term. We have a trainning day on Friday 18th. Next week we will be finishing our project on Chinese New Year and Chinese culture. The children have been very inspired by the idea of different languages and different writing and you could further explore this at home.
After half term we will be exploring the world of underground fossils and dinosaurs. The children will be visiting the County museum on the morning of March 15th where we will be, making our own fossils, tooth hunting, going on a dinosaur dig, and hearing fossil stories.
Has your child got a real interest in anything in the world around them? Let me know and we will try and explore it.
We are short of some group reading books. Please can you check that you have returned all group reading books to us. Thank you.
Have a good half term.

Safer Internet Day 2011
Safer Internet Day is on 8th February 2011 and we encourage you all to consider the importance of e-safety with your children through talking to them about how they use the Internet. A range of excellent materials for children and parents on the subject of e-safety can be found at http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/. Why not use this time to listen again to last years e-safety radio show through our school website, click the 'Safety' button at the top of our school website.

Week beginning 7th February.
Hello everyone.
We seem to have come to the end of a week of lots of bugs and children off school. Hopefully everyone will be back fit and ready for a new week, although lots of the children are very tired as they approach the end of their first half term in school.
Last week we did last of learning about Fairtrade and I was impressed by the things that children had remembered from Pre-school. Look on our fairtrade display to see some impressive answers to questions about Fairtrade. The children were using white hat thinking( facts and information gathering) to answer some of the questions.
This week and into next week our learning is through a topic on Chinese New Year. If you have any dressing up clothes or spare chopsticks pots spoons etc, we would appreciate them and will return them when we are finished. Thank you. I hope we will be making some chinese food to!
If you are able to come in and support children reading individually I would be very grateful. Also supporting small groups to practise letter writing skills would be good.Otherwise just a few minutes in the morning sharpening pencils is so useful.Thank you.
Finally, please keep up reading with your children, taking individual stripy books form the library.It would help us if you could record what you are reading in the green reading records. Thank you. Don't forget to return group reading books, this is so important for the next child getting the books. It might be your child who does not get a book because they have not been returned.
