This week has been Assessment Week and the children have worked very hard – it is lovely to see how much they have all progressed!
The children have enjoyed sharing what they have learnt after interviewing family members about their primary school days and have been writing up their “interviews” which will go on display in our 60th anniversary exhibition in September. Many thanks to all who have shared memories and sent in photos, letters and books so far!
In maths, we completed our unit of work on money and the children are looking forward to next week’s work on time.
The warm weather at the start of the week gave us the long awaited opportunity to use our outdoor area – fingers crossed that it will return soon!
Today we enjoyed a Field Friday session of outdoor maths with our friends in Reception.(see photos on Twitter/X)
This week’s homework has a focus on some of the Year One high frequency words – the children have a wordsearch to solve and spellings to learn for Wednesday. Please keep reading as often as possible too please.
Looking ahead to next week:
- PE will be on Monday. Children should come to school in their PE kits please with long hair tied back and all earrings removed.
- On Thursday we shall have our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed day at Helsby Scout Hut. Please drop off the children on the KS2 playground at 8:55am and collect from the Scout Hut at 2:45pm. Any children that are due to be at link club after school will walk back with a member of staff. If you did not order a packed lunch, you will need to send your child with their own as extra school packed lunches will not be available on the day. All children will need their water bottles as usual please.
Diary dates:
- Tuesday 9th July is “moving up day” when the children will spend a day in Year Two in readiness for September.
- Tuesday 16th July, 9-10:30am – Year One “Stay and Learn Maths” – following on from the success of our autumn term “Stay and Read”, we are inviting one adult per child to join us to share some maths activities. We hope that you can make it!
Have a lovely weekend!
