Hello everyone,
Well that was another busy week that has been and gone! We enjoyed spending time with Mrs O'Connor this week and she answered questions about Year 1. We have also talked about and looked at photos of Emerald Class - we discovered that there are lots of things that are going to stay the same! We also had a sneaky look through Emerald's door when they were out doing their daily mile to see it for ourselves!
Tricky Words
A number of parents have been asking about an updated list of the tricky words that the children learn in Phonics. Please click here for the list of words. We are currently working our way through the Phase 4 words and have reached have/like. We will be learning the remainder over the next 3 weeks.
Hares About Town
This summer, if you head into Southend, you are in for a "hare-raising" surprise! The Hares About Town trail starts on the 1st July. There are 30 hares dotted all around the town, each with their own story to tell. Accompanying the hares are over 50 leverets, including our school leveret Lenny.
Miss Wakefield and Mrs Holmes were very lucky to have a sneak preview of all the Hares on Tuesday. They are AMAZING and include a hare that has been created by one of the parents at school. Mrs Cairns' hare "View of Lepus" can be found in Priory Park.
We have been given some trail maps to sell, on behalf of Fair Havens. The suggested donation for these is £1 and we will be selling them at the gate, after school next week.
PE Kit
A reminder that PE kit for Friday is a light blue t-shirt with navy blue tracksuit bottoms/leggings or navy shorts. Trainers should be black. We appreciate that if PE kit no longer fits, people are making do with what they have until the summer and this is fine, however, please be mindful of our uniform policy when restocking in the holidays.
Now on to our learning for the coming week, we will be:
- Learning the next tricky words from Phase 4 in our Phonics sessions. We will also be trying to spell some CVCC words.
- Working on some number problems in our Mathematics sessions.
- Continuing our work on senses, this week we will be using our Super Sense of smell!
- Creating some flying Superheroes using our handprints and then writing a speech bubble for them.
- Reading and discussing the 4th book in our Tom Percival series, this one is called "Meesha Makes Friends".
- Taking part in Sports Week, scoring points for our houses.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend, see you on Monday!
Miss Wakefield
