Hello everyone,
Thank you to everyone who has helped us raise money for Comic Relief. We will let you know the total raised in next week's newsletter. The JustGiving page is still open as an additional way to donate to our Comic Relief collection should you wish to use it. It can be found here.
Thank you for continued support in our teaching and learning about Children's Rights
RRS A2: Children's Rights apply to every child everywhere, all of the time.

Now on to our learning for next week, we will be:
- Sharing the story "The Way Back Home", a fourth story about the Boy.
- Thinking about how this week's book links to the story from last week.
- Learning about 5 more words in our Vocabulary Ninja sessions.
- Using our new found knowledge to help us write some of our own penguin facts.
- Finding out about odd and even numbers and sorting our Numicon tiles in our Mathematics sessions.
- Sharing the book "How Long is a Whale?" and using it to help us compare different sea animals by their length.
There are 2 messages this week from other teachers in school.

And from Miss Harvey:
Turn On The Subtitles
https://turnonthesubtitles.org/parents/
Turning on quality subtitles means your child will read a staggering number of words. Put them on and your child will read the equivalent number of words that are in all the Harry Potter books, all of the Lord of the Rings, all of the Chronicles of Narnia and everything Roald Dahl wrote, combined!
Research has shown that it can double the chance of your child leaving school as a proficient reader. You can turn them on for the whole family or most streaming services will now allow you to do it just for children’s profiles.
Perhaps, after all, there is a magic button…
Drop in this week will be on MONDAY.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
Miss Wakefield, Mrs O'Connor and Miss Langley
