Week beginning 23.5.2016

We would just like to start by thanking all of the adults that were able to make it to the final year one reading event. The children had a great time and we hope you were impressed with both their reading and maths skills. Please remember that reading isn't just about books and there are a wide range of things out there for children to enjoy. This week in English we read the story Jaspers Beanstalk. We then planted our own (imaginary) seed and waited to see what grew. The children then independently wrote about what their seed grew into. We had jelly bean castles, beanstalks made of diamonds, chocolate houses and Egyptians! We were really impressed with the children's ideas and how imaginative they were. We were even more impressed with their writing! In maths we have been recapping on measuring- capacity, weight and length. After half term our phonics check will begin so please keep practising at home and continuing to read so the children are ready when they return from the half term break. Have a super half term.
