Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Pirate Topic

As next week is a two day school week with a visit to the beach, our work will mainly focus on our pirate topic.  This week we received a ‘letter’ from a pirate called Seagull Sid who is coming to Guernsey in search of shipwrecks and great treasures hidden at the bottom of the sea!  He has asked the children to help by sending him a map of Guernsey on which they need to mark a safe place for him to anchor the Rum Runner – well away from the view of any passing Navy ships!

Having looked at the Guernsey coastline we have decided that a sheltered cove on the South Coast might be best. Our trip to Moulin Huet is therefore to investigate whether it would be a safe anchorage and to collect other information that will help them describe the bay and surrounding area – things he might use as landmarks or need to be wary of!

The children will not have phonics lessons next week and will therefore not receive spellings on Friday  

 

Moulin Huet Visit

For our visit  to the beach next week (Mrs Ash’s Class and half of Mrs Page’s class  – Thursday 10th May and Mrs Ashworth’s Class along with the other half of Mrs Page’s Class (Mrs Page will notify you as to which day your child is going)  – Friday 11th May) your child will need to come to school in comfortable clothing (non-uniform) and shoes. We will be walking from school to the beach and the children will be clambering over rocks so trainer-type shoes are essential.  If it is very wet we will postpone the trip but your child may need a light waterproof in case of showers.

We will be returning to school for lunch but please ensure your child has a large snack and extra drink for the beach.  They will need a small rucksack with them on this day so they can carry their things with them and be hands-free.

 

Year 2 Open Afternoon – Pirate Day

Just an advance notice that we will be inviting you in to work/play with your child from 1.30pm on  Thursday June 14th for our pirate day.  The children can come to school dressed as a pirate on this day and will be having lots of pirate fun and activities in the morning as well.

 

School closure days- week beginning 7th May  – Just a reminder that school is closed Monday 7th, Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th May. We will be back to normal on Thursday 10th May.

 

Many thanks for your continued support
