New Term for Glow Worms

We hope everyone had a lovely Easter break. The children have shared lots of fun things they did over the two weeks!

We have started the term by looking at Spring, this is part of our seasonal changes topic in science. First, we spotted the signs of Spring and what common weathers we have at this time of the year. We used this information to think about what clothing we wear and to give a weather forecast in our groups. Then, we learned how animals are affected by Spring, this is often when animals come out of hibernation and often have their young. We matched adult animals to their babies. 

In maths, we have been counting in 2s and 10s. We counted using objects and number lines and then filled in missing numbers on a number track. We spoke about practising this at home, e.g. when walking up the stairs, playing outside etc. 

In PE, we worked on controlling the ball by moving it around our body. The children did an amazing job!

Early in the week in Lifeskills, we looked at what humans do to stay healthy and then discussed what we eat. We created a rainbow of foods to show that eating colourful and different things will often lead to a healthy diet.

What a great first week back!

With the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check coming up, please continue to practise the sounds and reading at home as this would be an amazing support to continue the work we are doing in school.
Please see the relevant videos to your child's RWI group by reading the weekly RWI blog.

NOTE:

• Mrs Watts will teach Glow Worm class on Wednesday morning with Miss McMillan back in class in the afternoon.
• Wednesday afternoon is the ABC sports festival at Matravers. We will walk there after lunch and will be back before the end of the day. Please send the children in with their PE kits on, and a coat in case it rains.
  Due to this, we will not have a PE lesson on Monday so the children will not need to wear their PE kit on this day.
