Welcome to the summer term!

It has been lovely welcoming back the children after a well-deserved break over the Easter holidays. This term is a short one, being only 5 weeks, but we have a lots of exciting events to pack in including a trip to RHS Rosemoor, the Y2 cake bake and sports day! We will be sending out a letter about the Barnardos Healthy Relationships workshops which will be held in Summer 2 shortly and will update you on next half term’s Y2 Residential when it is finalised. Please keep an eye on your emails!

Year 2 and 5 Cake Bake – Tuesday 29^th April:
Next week, it’s Year 2’s turn to have a Cake Bake! The theme is Spring and there will be prizes for Star Bakers. Please send your children into class with their bakes on Tuesday morning for The Friends to pick up and sell at the end of the day. The more cakes the better as we have over 360 pupils! Please ensure any plates and boxes are clearly labelled with your child’s name and class if you would like them returned.

English: Over the Easter holiday, it appears that dragons have moved into the school. The children were surprised to find so many around the school including some hiding in the cupboard and others setting up home in Mrs Glasby;s office! They had great fun this week, hunting for hidden dragons around the school and will be using this experience to inspire their writing this term.

Maths: This week has been all about fractions; identifying the whole and parts, making equal and unequal parts and recognising and finding one half.

Topic: With Cornwall our topic for this term, the children have enjoyed looking at atlases to locate the county of Cornwall and the four nations of the United Kingdom on a map. In science, we have been learning all about healthy eating and the proportions of each type of food we need to eat to be healthy. Later this term, we will be using this knowledge to create fruit kebabs in Design and Technology.

Homework:

Maths – Please complete the assigned three 3-minute sessions of Times Table Rockstars that have been set. You can log in at this link https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school using your child’s Numbots’ username and password. Your child has been set 3 minutes in the Single Player ‘Garage’ section.

Reading – Please read five times a week at home. Reading completed in school does not count towards the five times. Please remember to send in reading books with your child every day.

Spellings (children on Read, Write Inc): This week, we have set some learning for your child on Spelling Shed. They now have a username and password in their purple book. Please use this to login to their assignment in EdShed. They have 3 games set this week. Please get in touch if you are having trouble accessing this. Alternatively, your child may prefer to continue with the Little Birds game to practise their common exception word spellings.

Mrs Loudwill’s and Mr Seldon’s spelling group: Please find your child’s login in their purple or yellow books. If it is not there, it will be added next week when your child hands in their purple book. Your child is expected to complete all the games set but can choose which games to play to complete this. Please do feedback to us if you are having issues. This week’s homework is all about Common Exception Words.

Have a great weekend.

Mr Seldon and Mrs Loudwill
