Key Information
PE day is Thursday so please send children to school in their PE kit ready for their session.
Homework day is Friday and all children will bring their homework home in their reading folders. This must be returned the following Friday.
Phonics 3 Day Read books are sent out every Friday after the third read in school. This book will come home for a week so that you have plenty of opportunities to read with your child. This must be returned the following Friday so they can bring home their new book. Failure to return your phonics book may result in a fine to replace.
Library day is on a Friday where children will have access to the school library and our new outdoor reading courtyard when weather permits.
Singing sessions are on a Tuesday and we will have a warm up, followed by three songs - these will be shared with parents for practicing at home!

In English we introduced our new English text through a hook day where we made Robots and then in Year 1 we named our Robots and in Year 2 we wrote a description about our Robot. We got very creative and had some wonderful ideas! Our new text is No-Bot.
Citizenship enrichment.
This half term our enrichment focu has been citizenship. We have learnt lots about people who help us out and about in our community. We have leanrt what they do, how they help and what skills they hold to make the effective at their job role.
We learnt about dentists and then used play dough to make our own teeth and toothbrushes! We also learnt about paramedics, police, shop assistants, firefighters and mechanics.
Design Technology
In DT we were designing a car using the wheel and axel mechanism. We evaluated existing products, designed our own cars and then made them. Once we had completed our cars we evaluated them and made changes where neccessary to ensure we had a orking product.
