Around the World Day

Today we celebrated China for our Around the World Day! We learnt about China and some of their customs, we practiced writing some numbers in Mandarin, we took part in some drama around the story ‘The Willow Pattern’ and then made some paper chain Chinese dragons and lanterns! In the afternoon we tasted prawn crackers and used chopsticks to eat noodles which we found very yummy! 

It was lovely to see all the children dressed up and taking part in the activities!

Looking forward to our Around the World Day tomorrow.

Trip!

Our Lincoln Trip to the castle and cathedral are on Wednesday 8th June.

Please ensure you have paid for this via parentmail.

We are looking forward to applying what we have learnt about castles to our trip.

On Friday 20th May the school will be holding a non-uniform day to raise funds and this time we would like you to contribute for a hamper as we have done previously. Owlets are going to theme their hamper 'teddy bears picnic' so it would be great if you could donate items such as: tea, biscuits, sweet treats or perhaps a small bear. Thank you for your support in this. The last hamper was amazing and I'm sure Oliver and his family enjoyed it!

Celebration time 

On Friday 27th May the children will all be celebrating the Queen's 70th Jubilee. Year 3 are going to be looking at the 1950's and we would like the children to dress up in 1950's outfits. The Owlets and Otters will be learning a dance to share at the celebration.

For homework this Easter I would like your child to follow the recipe given and make Easter Egg Flapjack.  When they have made these could you please take a photo of the flapjack and stick the recipe (folded in half) along with their photo in their homework books.

For reading homework your child will need six signatures (to say they have read to an adult) and three questions & answers from their reading bookmark. All needs to be completed in their reading record as normal.

Finally, your child will be required to complete 3 x 10 minute sessions on TT Rockstars/ Maths seeds 

All homework will need to be completed and handed in at school on Wednesday 20^th April 2022

Many thanks and enjoy eating some yummy Easter eggs!
