5th February 2018

This week is International Week and the children are learning all about Australia. As part of your home learning ask your children to share with you what they have learnt about Australia. Did you know that Australia is both a country and a continent?

This week the children will be taking part in lots of different activities including making traditional Australian Anzac biscuits (where we can revisit our weighing skills from last week!), exploring famous landmarks in Australia, comparing the weather in Australia to the UK, learning about Australian animals, creating Aboriginal art and writing postcards to share all of the information they have learnt. What a busy week! We will try to add some photographs later in the week so you can see what the children have been doing. As part of your home learning you could explore Google Earth and compare the United Kingdom with Australia.

The children made traditional Anzac biscuits.

Friday is the last day of this half term - we feel like it's gone really quickly!! We have some exciting things planned for after half term and we would like your children to relax over the break but please remember to keep reading! You could read your school book, get books from the library, read your sharing book together, read tricky words, read recipes or instructions- the possibilities are endless! Please remember that your children are allowed to change both their school reading books and sharing books as often as they like. The library is open both before and after school.

After half term we will continue with dance on a Tuesday so please remember to send in a PE kit- especially those who are doing after school clubs. No shoes are needed but those with long hair need to be tied back and earrings need to be covered with tape. 

We look forward to seeing toy back at school on Monday 19th February and don't forget there is a new menu starting for hot dinners.

If you haven't already please don't forget to sign up for parent teacher interviews which take place the first week back after half term.
