"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." – C.S. Lewis
Dear Parents/Carers,
On Monday the children in EYFS enjoyed the sensory element of maths by tracing around edges of 2D shapes and describing what they can see and feel in the foam.
On Tuesday Year 4 and Year 1 had reading buddies. The children loved visiting one another and sharing their favourite books. In addition to this, Year 6 applied resilience to their maths learning as they were adding fractions with different denominators.
Wednesday was our most favourite assembly of the week where children were presented with their Stars of the Week and Maths Champion certificates. Jays completed their maths learning using technology in the morning. The children absolutely relished this opportunity! In the afternoon, Swans had lots of fun creating role plays all about the water cycle in English. In addition to this, Ospreys and Falcons loved participating in their reading buddy session!
On Thursday Eagles enjoyed using the xylophones. They did amazingly considering it was their first time using them this year!
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Capes, Mrs Jackson and the Maundene Team

Key Messages
Future Aspirations
At Maundene, we believe that it is vital to prepare our children for their future and to provide them with knowledge and experiences about future careers and aspirations. We are asking for any volunteers to come forward who would be willing to talk about their careers and aspirations to inspire our children. Please speak to Mrs Jackson if you are interested in this opportunity.
Belongings
A reminder that children should not be bringing in any of their personal belongings from home, such as pencil cases, teddy bears, toys etc. This rule is put in place so that belongings are not broken or misplaced. Although these are not permitted, children are allowed to bring in a photo or an award if it is representing their achievements outside of school and they would like to share it with their peers in school.
Year 2 Nativity Costumes
Please could we ask for any donations of costumes that have previously been used for the Year 2 Nativity/Production at Christmas. These include camels, sheep, donkey and angel costumes. Please could they be given to Mrs Rattle, Mrs Howard or the Office. Thank you in advance!
EYFS Donations
EYFS are looking for some wooden boards/decking boards that could be donated for their construction provision. If you have any or know anyone who might have some, please could you let us know!
