Your child has brought home some tricky words which they need to learn to read on sight. This will really help with their reading progress.

We have set an addition and subtraction maths challenge on Sumdog, have a go over Easter!

English

We read the story of The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. We re-told the story and read our stories to the children in Year 2.

Phonics

Some of us have been revising all the sounds which make the /ee/ sound.

Some of us have been learning the different /ar/ spellings - ar in park, al in half and a in rather and revising the two /oi/ digraph spellings: oi and oy.

Maths

We have been learning how to double amounts. 

We have been using our knowledge of counting in 2s, 5s and 10s to solve problems, for example 6 vases contain 5 flowers each, how many flowers are there altogether?

R.E.

We learnt about Jesus' crucifixion and the angel's message. We made some amazing Easter slider cards and wrote our own version of how Jesus died.

P.E.

We played benchball in the hall. We worked well as a team and had fun practising our throwing and catching skills.

Forest School

We have been flying bird gliders. We also paprticipated in some great child- initaited learning in the nature area.

We noticed forget-me-knots, buttercups and daisies growing in there.

Have a happy and holy Easter.
