Welcome back to school after the Easter break. We hope you all had a lovely Easter and spent lots of time together.

This term is as busy as always as we are preparing the children for the phonics screening in June. Please continue to practice all the sounds and words that have been sent home throughout the year.

Attached is the curriculum letter and homework.

On Friday we invited all the mums, nans and aunts in to celebrate Mother’s Day with their children.

We spent the morning making cards and decorating biscuits before completing craft activities with our adults.

We all had a great afternoon!

On Friday, Year 1 discovered a crash landing in their outdoor area. After some investigating they found out an alien had landed and had left a message for them. The alien would like to find out about animals and humans and has set the children tasks to help the alien learn more. All the children were excited to get started and are looking forward to sharing their new knowledge with the alien!

We have been practising our skills ready to build our own houses. All the children looked at different ways of joining materials together.

We hope you have had a great half term break.

We are now over half way through the academic year and all the children are working as hard as ever and are really looking forward to their learning this term.

Attached is our curriculum overview and homework for this term.

Well done Ella R for being the star of the week. This was awarded for an improved attitude to your learning and showing lovely friendship skills. Well done Ella.

This term we have been learning more about algorithms.

We have made algorithms using our laptops, looking at how the instructions we give allow the object to move across the map. We have also looked at what to do if we make a mistake and how we can ensure we provide the computer programme with the correct instructions.

Over the last few weeks, we have completed a range of levels and by the end we were able to correctly deliver the post to the right houses.

This term we are learning about Abstract Art.

Last week we looked at the artist Kadinsky. The children looked at his circle painting whilst re-capping primary and secondary colours and mixing colours.

They then had to paint the circles, using different colours, shades and tints, ensuring they kept within the lines.
