A huge thank you to everyone who was able to attend our second reading event last week. We really appreciate all of your feedback and will be acting upon this for our next event.

PLEASE HELP!

We would really like you to send in some clean recyclables for junk modelling. We will be using these for science and topic work and are looking for...

cardboard tubes (not toilet rolls please)

cardboard boxes (small and big)

plastic bottles

We would also love it if you have any old white (or light coloured) t-shirts (children's and adult sizes are all welcome). These will be cut up so please don't send in anything new or that you would like returned. 

Please send them in ASAP

THANK YOU!

In maths this week we have moved on to looking at division through sharing. Children have been learning to recognise the division symbol and how to share into equal groups. We also did this outside by sharing bulbs equally into pots. You could have a go at this at home by sharing toys or sweets. If we have 10 sweets in total and share them between 2 of us- how many do we each get? If we have 20 toy cars and share them between 4 children- how many will they get each? 

In science this week we have bee looking at and comparing everyday materials. We carried out an experiment to compare the bounciness of balls made out of different materials. We also went around the school and classroom on a materials hunt thinking about what things are made from, is this natural or man-made and why it is made from that material? As part of your home learning you could go around the rooms and look at different types of materials and list what they are used for. For example you might find glass in the kitchen in the windows and for drinking glasses. Then think about how these materials can be used outside of the home as well.

In English this week we have continued looking at facts about castles. We have looked at the different features on non-fiction books including headings, subheadings, photographs and pictures and captions. We have created our own contents page and front cover and will also be creating our own mini non-fiction piece of writing about castles. 

 

Thank you to all those who were able to attend the first internet safety session. Don't forget there is a second session on Thursday 24th January 9 am at Lodge Lane Infant School.
