This week we had had a wonderful week of Wesak the traditional festival of Buddha's Birthday and all over the world Buddhists celebrate with the full moon, this year on the 23rd May.
We have been thinking about looking after nature, animals our family and friends and our community.
We have tried some meditations techniques.
We have been thinking about eating healthy food and that we need a balance of rainbow foods, exercise, water and rest and sleep to be healthy.
Have a great week off and I hope the weather improves.
Here are a few highlights.
Doubling
Making healthy plates
Healthy plate of food
Looking at real nature and using our senses to enjoy it.

Another great week of map work, retelling stories and much more.
Words of the week : Beehive Farmyard
We have retold the story of ' Rosie's Walk' learnt lots of facts about Bees.
Built complex patters with shapes within shapes.
Had our first tennis session outside!
Polite ask: Please can you put sun cream on your child before they come to school if the weather is warm. I understand your concerns over burning but children do find it difficult to put it on themselves and they sometimes end up putting other people's on.
Also
Next week we are learning about Wesack the Buddhist festival. We will also talking about keeping our minds healthy.
Please look on Microsoft Teams for the pre-learning clips to watch this will help your child with the understanding of new knowledge.
Here are a few highlights.
Independent bee paintings.
Shape within shapes.
Rosie's walk maps.
Outside Tennis.
Making shapes from a square.
Thank you for your support at home.

A last we have the right weather for growing seeds.
Last week we planted Sunflowers which are already growing.
This week we have planted Broad beans and I am hoping these will grow also.
We have tasted a variety of rainbow vegetables from the story Oliver Vegetables.
In the story, he didn't like veg but tried them and decide he like them all. - Carrots, sweetcorn, spinach, beetroot and celery. Its very important to keep introducing new healthy foods into your child's diet. Talk about which part of the plant it comes from.
In Math's we are looking and one more one less than a given number and problem solving with some simple addition and subtraction sums.
Playing the 1 2 3 game on a 10 frame.
Next week we are reading Rosie's walk by Pat Hutchins which the children love
. Look on Teams for a you tube version.
Here are a few photo's of the amazing 'Heads'you did in school last week.
They will be displayed until this time next Year.
Thank you for your support,
