Our ‘Pirate Day’ will be taking place on Tuesday 11th July. The children will be taking part in lots of pirate themed activities and are asked to come dressed in pirate clothes on this day.

Dear Parents/Carers,

We hope the children have enjoyed EPIC week. They have all been fantastic and participated enthusiastically in all the different activities. Many thanks to all parents who gave up their time to help. Your support is very much appreciated.

Maths

Next week we will be starting to work on reading ‘time’ using both analogue and digital clocks.   Any additional work you can do at home reading clocks to the hour, half hour and quarter hours will help the children greatly.  We will also begin to solve problems involving time, such as ‘I got in the pool at 2 o’clock and swam for half an hour.  What time did I get out?’

Phonic/Spelling Homework

With the slightly reduced curriculum time this week we did not have our full coverage of phonics lessons so there will be no spellings set this week. The children could continue to revisit spellings from previous weeks.

Sports Day

We are looking forward to our Sports day next Tuesday 20th and hoping the good weather holds for us. The children can come to school in PE kit but please can they wear a T shirt or shorts in their class colour. They must also have a hat.

Sponsored Swim – Thursday 29th and Friday 30th June

Sponsored swim will take place during normal swimming lessons. Mrs Page’s class and Mrs Ash’s class will be doing their sponsored swim on the afternoon of Thursday 29th June  and Mrs Ashworth’s class on Friday 30th at 11 am.

You are very welcome to come along and watch your child swim. Please could you ensure that sponsorship forms are returned to class teachers no later than Tuesday 27th June.

Pirate Open Day

On Tuesday 11th July we are planning a day of pirate themed activities. The children are invited to come to school dressed as pirates on this day.

Thank you for your continued support

Sun Safety

Now that the weather is hot and sunny (and we hope it lasts!) please could you ensure that your child brings a sun hat to school every day. Children are out in the fresh air for playtimes and lunchtimes as well as learning outside so it is important that they are protected from the sun. We do have a small supply of spare hats which children will wear if they forget theirs.

Please could you also ensure that suncream is applied everyday before school.

Thank you for your support.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Maths
Next week the children will be continuing to describe position and direction as well as being introduced to coordinates based on our ‘Pirates’ topic.

Epic Week
Next week is EPIC week! Children in Years 1 and 2 will be working in mixed groups doing different activities with different teachers each day. On Friday afternoon we shall be holding a whole school celebration on the field with dancing and ice creams.
Teachers have allocated children a different activity each day which will give them the opportunity to try lots of new things including cooking, art, science, coding, dance, tag rugby and playground games.
Children do not need to wear uniform but please could they all wear trainers every day in case they are doing games activities.
We hope that they come home and tell you how epic each day has been!

Sports Day
Just a reminder that our Infants’ Sports Day is on 20th June at 1.30pm. We look forward to seeing you all there!

Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome back to the final half term of Y2.

Congratulations

Many congratulations to Miss Geall who got married during half term and who returns to us as Mrs Page.

Maths

Next week the children will be learning to describe position and direction using the vocabulary of right, left, clockwise and anti clockwise. We will then be moving onto coordinates which will be  linked to our Pirate topic.

Literacy

Our literacy over the coming weeks is based on writing letters and is linked to our Pirate topic. The children have been receiving letters from a Pirate called Seagull Sid who is preparing his crew to set sail for the shores of Guernsey.

So far we have written to him applying for a job aboard his ship – although have used our pirate names as we are really not too sure that we want to be pirates! We have also sent him a letter describing the suitability of Moulin Huet bay as a good place to anchor the Rum Runner.

After half term we will continue to collect information about life on a pirate ship which we will use to help us write letters home as though we were a member of a pirate crew. We will be very happy to share any additional facts or information your child may find about pirates.  

Y6 Round the World day

Y6 are just completing a project where they have been researching different countries around the world. To celebrate their work, they have invited Y2  to ‘Round The World Day’ on Wednesday 7th June. The Y6 children have lots of fun activities planned and  there will be things for the children to take home. Please can your child bring a plastic bag to school on this day so that they can carry the extra things home.

Thank you for your continued support

Mrs Ash, Mrs Ashworth, Mrs Page
