Feelings and emotions - Bees class have been thinking about emotions and feelings recently, sharing how actions can affect their feelings and the wellbeing of themselves and their peers.
Today, Bees Class have finished off their music topic of Djembe Drumming with Mrs Cooper. They have had a tremendous six weeks and have shown enthusiasm in developing a new skill!
Today we have braved the wind and the cold to combine French with our PE sessions. The children were using their knowledge of colours and counting from 1 to 12 (un a douze) to develop both skills.
Yesterday, Year 3 welcomed a special visitor into their classes to learn more about prehistory, with a special focus on the bronze and iron age. The children were taught about how prehistoric people lived, how and what they ate, what they wore, how bronze is made - and more importantly, they had a terrific hands-on experience with a variety of artefacts and equipment! As Jan the iron age warrior taught us - "Kratas" (Thank you!)

Reading
- Your child needs to read at least 3 times a week, with their reading record book signed by an adult.
- Your child’s reading book and records MUST be brought in daily, to monitor reading between home and school. We value any comments made by parents/ guardians in relation to reading.
- Similar to last year, your child will receive a raffle ticket for the number of times they read to an adult each week (1 raffle ticket every 2 reads). These tickets will then be entered into a raffle, where your child could win a prize!
- Reading at home, as well as school, is a fantastic way of supporting your child’s learning. Discussing books and providing meaningful reading opportunities outside the classroom can foster a lifelong love of reading.
