Newsletter | 27th March
Dear Families,
This week we had a practice ‘lockdown’ drill where the children rehearsed what to do if they had to be kept in class away from potential danger. They were very calm and approached it sensibly and maturely. The class teachers spoke with the children in an age-appropriate way to describe what they are doing and why and it ran smoothly.
For sports day this year on Thursday 25th June, it will be through school years rather than classes. Reception and KS1 (Year 1 and 2) are in the morning, 9:30-11:30 and KS2 (Year 3 to 6) are in the afternoon 1:30-3:25.
We hope you can have some enjoyable and relaxing time with your children this Easter.

Nursery
This week Nursery have been reading ‘What Happened to You?’. They have been thinking about being polite and which questions we can ask people. Our Foundational Knowledge has been to learn about Easter and how people celebrate. The children have enjoyed lots of Easter crafts, counting chicks and looking at pictures of Easter celebrations. In maths we have been counting to 5 using stories rhymes and games.
Reception Rabbits
This week, Rabbits have learnt the Easter story and have enjoyed writing about how the festival is celebrated. We have continued to observe the caterpillars and cannot wait to find out who gets to take them home and keeps us updated over the holiday. Well done Rabbits on another successful term. Have a safe and fun Easter break together!
Hares
This week in our English reading lessons, Hares class have been using new techniques to scan and retrieve information from a text. In maths we have been using tally charts, block diagrams and pictograms to represent statistics, while in history we have started to learn about the importance of David Attenborough and how his work and interests link to Mary Anning. Children have also made some lovely Easter crafts to take home. Well done on a great spring term, Hares class!
Fawns
This week in maths we have been working on our problem solving and arithmetic skills. All of the pupils have been working hard and are showing a good understanding of how to identify the key words and numbers in the problems. In reading we have finished our study of Too Much Stuff and thought about what birds really need in their nests. We have also enjoyed exploring the different commands you can use when programming characters in Scratch during our computing lesson.
Otters
This week in writing, Otters have been finishing their persuasive adverts – advertising a pen that can scan calculations and give you the answer. They have used superlatives, topical vocabulary and persuasive language. In maths they started a new unit on fractions – delving deeper into mixed fractions. We changed our books in the library ready for the Easter break so they have a fresh, new book to keep them busy! Lastly, they started their new core text, The Boy at the Back of the Class, which has created and promoted some thoughtful conversations.
Badgers
Badgers have enjoyed finishing off their synopsis of A Midsummer Night’s Dream this week, making sure they included fronted adverbials, parentheses and concise language. In science, they learned about the Earth’s axis and how this creates day and night. They had so many questions and it was great to see their scientific minds at work! They have now finished their computing unit on flat-file databases and delved into our new topic of money in maths this week. Have a lovely Easter break Badgers!
Foxes
This was very much a finishing off units week for Fox class. They finished their water colour painting in art, Internet safety in computing, the water system in science and position and direction in maths. Have a great few weeks off and come back ready for more hard work Foxes!

Dear Families,
What a busy week in school with so much going on! We started the week with a Pinocchio theatre production that the whole school came to. On Wednesday, we were treated to a Rocksteady concert with parents – thank you Mark for this, the children had a great time and so did the crowd. Year 1 also took part in a multi-skills tournament and really enjoyed themselves. On Thursday, Mrs Smith took some children to plant some trees for the community garden – we hope to do some more things in the future with them. Finally, today was crazy hair day for Comic Relief. We also managed to fit in some learning!
Please see the letter regarding uniform – it really is important to come to school wearing the correct uniform (including PE clothes). Please do let a member of staff know if you have any concerns.

Dear Families,
The theme for this week was independence. Being able to think and behave in the correct manner independently is a very important life skill; well done to those who received their award this week. I have seen some very good independent work around the school: number bonds to 10 in Rabbits, making Kente cloth in Otters and writing a fantasy narrative in Foxes to name a few things.
Chess club on a Friday lunch time is up and running. We have 16 chess and draught sets kindly donated by FOLPA to use. If you know how to play chess (or draughts) then come along on Friday lunch and play.
