Thank you to those of you who were able to attend the school fair- we hope you enjoyed it. We were very impressed with all the hard work that went into making such a fantastic Fair and Mrs Meade thought her cocktail was delicious!

This week the children have completed guided writing and maths activities. The Ducks have been sharing in maths and the Robins have been practising their number bonds. We have had visits from our new children and the Robin and Duck children have been fantastic at showing the new children around and helping them to feel welcome.











The children have enjoyed playing in the sunshine this week. Please do remember those hats and the sun cream which needs to be applied before school.They enjoyed singing and making shows, gymnastics, playing, with the big bricks, relaxing in the deck chairs reading books, playing with the lego, water and using magnifying classes.








































In phonics this week the children have focused on the digraph- oy.
oy: ahoy, boy, toys, annoy, cowboy, destroy.


In the afternoon the children have had activities in three groups. One activity is a secret (for Mrs Meade), one was an art activity; we are working on the 'big picture' to go in the hall, this is based on animal patterns. The final activity was a looking at materials and whether they are water resistant. They developed their language related to water resistance and predicted and tested a range of materials.

















Have a lovely weekend in the sunshine!
