Dear Parents/Carers,

On Monday, there seemed to be lots of PE activities happening and with the drier weather it was good to see some of these lessons happening outside. Year 6 continued to develop their knowledge of badminton [and used their newly gained skills in a game of connect 4. Year 5 have been enjoying their hockey lessons and have been working on controlling the ball and scoring a goal. Year R children enjoyed eating their lunch for MANGO day - thank yiou for taking the time to join them and we hope you enjoyed the lunch too! 

On Tuesday, Year 1 children enjoyed eating their lunch for MANGO day - thank you for taking the time to join them and we hope yiou enjoyed the lunch too! Year 4 continued to develop and embed their use of Kagan strategies in RE by using 'Give one, get one' whilst sharing facts about Sikhism. 

The morning on Wednesday commenced with our celebration assembly - well done to all our Stars of the Week! Year 1 also had a toy workshop where they were busy gluing, colouring and sanding to make their own toy. All children were so engaged and it was lovely to see them taking their toy goodie bag home with them - we hope you enjoyed looking at the toys with your children! Year 4 spent time editing their writing in English and they were given different stations and scaffolds to support. They focussed on different aspects of their writing at each station and used these to improve what they had already written. Year 2 children enjoyed eating their lunch for MANGO day with their adults - thank you for taking the time to join them and we hope you enjoyed the lunch too! The day ended with the staff attending a joint staff meeting with Delce and Elaine Primary schools sharing best practice in English and reading books. 

On Thursday it was an exciting day for the whole school for World Book Day! It was lovely to see all the pyjamas and book costumes as the children entered school. KMTV visited us and chatted to the pupils about books and the activities they had been completing throughout the day.

Year 1 had their Learning exhibition on Friday afternoon and as always we loved that so many parents attended to look at books and talk to the children about their learning from the term. The children all enjoy seeing you and are proud of their learning. 

Wishing you all a fantastic weekend and see you all on Monday.
