What we're up to this week...

Hello everyone,

We're nearly at the end of another term! There's a few things happening in the rest of this week and next week that I've outlined below. This week in school we are learning lots about change and how animals change as they grow older - including ourselves. As well as this we are making an Easter hat that all the children are decorating themselves. In literacy we're writing stories about finding a mysterious animal and in maths we're learning about time. We are introducing children to o' clock times using clocks as well as all the vocabulary that goes with time: before, earlier, later, this morning/afternoon/evening, soon etc. As well as this we'll be continuing to develop the days of the week and months of the year

• This Friday (18th) is sports relief and we are dressing up in our sports gear. We have stressed to children that there are lots of sports to choose from and a superman or princess dress won't quite be what we're after. Also on this day we're doing a sponsored walk to Maiden Castle. This will require some sensible footwear. Also, if anyone is available to help we would be very grateful to have you along. It will start at 1.30pm roughly - so please let us know if you're interested.
• Next Thursday (24th) is the last day of term. On this day we have our class assembly, that you are all invited to, at 9.20am. We have already begun our preparations for this and hope you will be able to make it. POWSA are also running an Easter Cafe this day. You are welcome to come in to school a little earlier to take children to the cafe if you would like to. More details will follow regarding this. On top of all these we will also do the normal end of term things like sending PE bags home, emptying trays and wishing you all a great break.

If you have any questions about any of this please come and speak to one of us!
