Welcome back!

This week we have been learning about the story Handa's Surprise.

We have tasted mango, avocado, banana this week in our tasting sessions.

In math's work we have been sharing amounts between 2 people, calling this half and then doubling it again to make the whole.

Also we have been looking at patterns and trying to identify the 'rule of the pattern'.

Here re a few highlights.

Looking at the fruits

Team work towers

Pattern necklaces

We had a training day on Monday all about reading and its is so important to read real books to your children. There is so much vocabulary used in the books that we don't use in our day today talk.

We read books at school but the more books read to them the more new vocabulary the children will be exposed to.

Next week we are again looking at Kenya. Please watch the clip on teams for a pre- learning exercise.

Thank you for your support at home.

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.

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

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.
