We have had great fun celebrating Halloween in school – we have all been very excited! I loved seeing everyone’s costumes and how happy everyone was.

We did a pumpkin hunt outside in the playground and had to find the different letters. We then put all the letters together and spelled the word ‘Halloween’.

We did a Halloween word search and decorated a biscuit with ghosts and cobwebs.

This morning we worked hard in maths.

In the afternoon we made super Halloween decorations for our Halloween activity day tomorrow.

Today we were really busy in literacy.

We read our books and answered questions on them and used our magnetic boards to sound out and write words.

This morning we managed to dodge the rain and get outside for our P.E.

Today the p1’s used their common words to write a sentence about their book whilst the p2’s wrote about what happened in the beginning, middle and end of their book.

• Parents Night will be next week (week beginning 26th) and, due to current restrictions, will be a phone call rather than in person. We will let you know the day and the rough time for the phone call.

• Hallowe’en – on Friday 30th October children can come to school dressed up for Hallowe’en. We will take part in different Hallowe’en activities in class.

• P.E – outdoor P.E. will be on Tuesday and our yoga P.E. will be on Monday in the hall.  On these days children can wear trainers, leggings/ joggers but must have school t-shirts/ polo shirts.

Today we were doing lots of work on our common words and reading.

P2’s were reading in pairs whilst the p1’s read in small groups.

I have an aged 7-8 green school jumper in the class. Let me know if it belongs to your child and I’ll send it home – there isn’t a name on it.

As we have yoga on a Monday, our new outdoor P.E. day is on a Tuesday – sorry for changing it!

Please can children come to school on a Tuesday wearing suitable outdoor shoes for P.E. and leggings/jogging bottoms.

Thank you!
