Weekly Update – T1W9

Helloooooooo, 

Happy Halloween to yooooo!😁😁😁

We finished this week off with our fantastic Halloween Party and the children had a ball! Lots of candy, lots of games and what fantastic costumes they all had. A huge thank you to all who helped. We couldn’t have done it without the wonderful PTA members.

In English this week we read Anthony Brown’s version of ‘Hansel and Gretel’ and looked at his wonderful illustrations. We compared his writing to our own story maps that we previously made and practiced writing about some of the illustrations in the book. The students are getting better at remembering their capital letters and full stops and I love seeing how creative they are.

In IPC, we dived into our science section of our Circus unit and did a little experiment to see which materials would be best to use to make a big top. We looked at different types of materials used to make circus costumes too. We found that bright coloured cotton material works well for clowns, stretchy material is great for acrobats and silk looks wonderful on Ringmasters! We then designed our own costume using various materials. The children are working on their teamwork skills and I am encouraging them to try and work with different members of the class. An important skill to learn. 🙂

In Maths, the children have been busy with Mr Green learning about money this week. It all looked very exciting and there was lots of active learning happening.

Socks

To enter the Kids Cafe at the Expo Park, children are required to wear socks. Please make sure your child wears socks on Tuesday. 

Lunch 

Please don’t forget that lunch should be something that doesn’t need to be microwaved. I am so excited for our first trip together and can’t wait to see the children enjoying themselves.

There was no homework sent out this week. It will be sent again on Friday 5th November. 

Enjoy the weekend and see you all on Monday!
