Hello everyone!
It was SO lovely to see so many of you in class on Friday for our drop in. I hope you enjoyed our little Coronation film. I was so proud of Pearl Class, who took it all in their stride, performing in front of the whole school for the first time. I will, over half term, add the photos to our Early Years part of the website.
You may have also seen in the newsletter this week that there are a number of new dates for your diaries. A particular one to note is Sports Day on Friday 8th July. This will be in the morning for KS2 and in the afternoon for Early Years. All parents will be able to come and watch this year and there will be a picnic lunch which you can attend as well. There will be further details to follow, but I wanted to be sure that you were all aware of this date.
On to our learning for the coming week, we will be:
- Watching and talking about the Aesop Fable "The Grasshopper and the Ants".
- Discussing the characters from this week's story in our Circle Time session and thinking about how kind the ants were to the grasshopper.
- Searching for minibeast in our garden and on the field, recording those we find.
- Learning 2 more Phase 4 tricky words in our Phonics sessions.
- Working on shape in our Mathematics sessions, learning how new shapes can be made by putting 2 shapes together.
- Thinking about the questions we wanted to know about minibeasts and checking that we have found all the answers.
- Wearing Red, White and Blue on Friday and enjoying a Jubilee picnic together. (Suggested donation of £1 for the non-uniform day, please remember Pearl Class will still have PE that day so need to be wearing something suitable for it).
There is no drop in this week as I am in the Isle of Wight on the Year 6 Residential. Pearl Class will be having Mrs Holmes all week. Please continue to use earlyyears@downhallprimary.com for any WOWs etc as Mrs Holmes will have access to the account.
On Friday, the children will be bring home their letters for our next project "Superheroes". I look forward to seeing you all again on Tuesday 7th June. Have a lovely half term!
Miss Wakefield
