Newsletter WE 17th October 2014



Dear Parents,

It's been a busy last week before the half term holidays!  The children have been enjoying reading different versions of Jack and the Beanstalk.  Hannah brought in a big book and then I also shared a different a different version.  Ms Grace has also been sharing Carrie's book 'Frozen' with the class.

In Maths, we have continued to focus on shapes.  This week, the children made some shape collages with me and focused on the four basic shapes from last week's shape hunt as well as a semi circle and diamond. Come and have a look at our display!

In the big playground and soft play room, we have been working on catching and throwing a big ball.

This half term, we have been focusing on 'Katy the Caring' Dolphin.  All the teachers have been trying to 'catch' the children showing their caring sides towards their friends, teachers and classrooms.  Based on this Xavier and Caleb were chosen to be 'Masters of Caring' and received a special certificate.  Look out for their photos in a special display in the foyer.  Next term, we will be focusing on 'Barnaby Bear the Global Citizen' and 'Shaun the Enquiring Squirrel'.  More details to follow next term.

Next term, we will begin by exploring Space.  Lots of children have really been enjoying playing with our space station, astronauts and rocket this week.

Next week is half term.  We will return to school on Monday 27th October.  Please send us any photos of what you get up to in the holidays.  It doesn't matter if you go somewhere or stay at home!  The children love to see their photos in the Holidays Book in the book area.
Our new Maths display!

Thank you for all your support this term.  Have a safe, relaxing holiday.

Ms Gurvinder and the F2 team.
