Well another busy week looking at the jobs Police Officers do in our community and the work of the RNLI.
We played hide and seek in the woods!
What fun we had trying to find each other, like real detectives.
Linking with the RLNI we investigated and predicted from a selection of objects which ones floated and which ones sank.
We also painted sea pictures and added our own sailing ships using shapes which we cut from circles and squares.
We have begun to look at the number 4/5 and different ways we can make this amount. 3 and 1 2 and 2 4 and 0 5 and 1..........
We then used our 5 frames outside and filled them.
How many in a full 5 frame?..... 5.
One less?....4
Thank you for your support with the Christmas play.
We are in full flow of our rehearsals.
See you on the 6th December 2.15pm. Two places per family, no tickets given out just a sign in register at the door.

What a busy week of events.
In class this week we have been learning about 'Oral hygiene' and the importance of keeping our teeth clean and healthy by eating and drinking the right foods. We also learnt about looking after our eyes and where we go for an eye test.
Both these services we find in our community.
Other events this week included 'Road safety week' with Miss Hemingway, Anti-bullying where the slogan this year is 'One Kind Word' and finally 'Children In Need' the charity event.
In maths we have continued to recognise and make groups of 1,2 3 in many situations.
Next week we are learning about Police and Lifeboat Rescue workers.
Thank you for your support at home.
Please remember your childs reading book/sheet and reading record on MONDAY'S.
You will have received a Christmas costume letter in your child bag this week. If not please come and see me. We do have a few spare in school to borrow.

We have continued the theme of people who help us in our communities and this week we have been looking at Vets and Doctors/Nurses.
Please could your child have their books/sheets in their bags ready for every Monday as this is the day we change them.
Please write a comment in the reading record once a week. It really helps us understand how your child is getting on at home.
The book/sheet will have been read to us at school to an adult so it will be familiar to your child.
We need to know if reading/blending is a happy time for your child. The early reading journey is not easy for all children at the beginning but i can be fun. Short regular help with lots of praise will really encourage your child to have a go and please praise every effort. Please read the speed sound orange laminated sheet before you start this acts like a warm up. If you would like any advise please come to see us.
Thank you. Mrs Oddy

Remembrance Day 2021

11th November 2021
Today, the whole school came together and stood in the playground, in their classes, to take part in the 2 minutes silence. During this time, we remembered all of the people and animals who we have lost and those who are still helping to keep us safe. We are incredibly proud of how all of the children conducted themselves.
