Reception and Year 1 Weekly Update

Friday 23rd July 2021

Dear Parents/Carers,

This week we have enjoyed a more relaxed timetable of learning. We have been trying to keep cool by staying inside or in the shade outside.
The children enjoyed an end of year ice lolly treat today, and we also had a chance to finally open the slide!

Tapestry
Your child’s tapestry learning journal is coming to an end as we will not be using tapestry in Year 1 and Year 2 next year. You can now download your child’s learning journal to keep at home. This will be available for you to download up until 18th October, after this date your account will be deleted and all observations will be lost so please make sure you download it! You need to log in to Tapestry and look for ‘download pdf report’. If you have any problems with this, then please notify the school office in September.

Maths
Both year groups have been completing a Summer Activity week. They have been solving problems using a range of maths skills, all with a summer theme.

Books
We are still missing some library books that have been borrowed this year and haven’t yet found their way back to school. If you find any during the summer holiday then please return them to your next teacher in September. Thank you.

Summer reading
We know that lots of home reading has been happening this year. It is very important that your child continues to read regularly over the summer holidays. To take part and register, please pop down to Bude Library and Information Service. We are open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 10 – 4 and on Saturdays 10 – 1.00
It is advisable to book a slot by sending us a message via our Facebook page Bude Library and Information Service | Facebook or emailing us at bude.library@liscornwall.org.uk
We are hoping to run outdoor activities during the summer holidays, keep an eye on our Facebook page for more details.
Happy Reading Everyone

Thank you all so much for supporting your child with their learning during this very unusual year! Have a lovely summer.
