Welcome back- dates for the diary!

Welcome back!

It was so nice to hear about all of the exciting and fun things that the children have been doing in the Easter break. Last term we had to cancel our farm trip, this has now been re arranged for this Friday. A letter has been sent home today but it is the usual clothes needed (rain coat, warm fleece, trousers, wellies and spare pair of shoes for pm). We expect it will be very muddy as lots of rain is forecast this week so please make sure your child has waterproofs and wellies.

Next Tuesday (29th) will be the Year 2 parent information session. There will be a focus on how we structure group reading and how to help your child with their reading. As well as this I will talk about what we will be learning this term.

The children visited the jungle today and got to choose one of our lovely new books! If you haven't had a chance to look in our new library it is defiantly worth a look. The books start off at 'tree' (blue) and move through to the 'forest' (green) and then finally when the children are free readers/ year 3/4 then they are at the 'jungle' (red). All the children were given some time to explore the area and it seemed a big hit! The books are all now to be scanned so once the children have finished with the book they have then they will need to scan the book back in (they should know how to do this) and then scan a new book out. The idea is that the children can choose which ever book they would like however we have spoken about how to choose the right book for you. If you have any questions please do ask any member of staff in Year 2.

We look forward to seeing lots of home learning this term. Maths, writing, handwriting, stories, poems, art  anything and everything is welcome as long as it is written down or made by the children.
