This week we have been very busy.

We learned about the seasons and the different types of weather you get in the UK. We looked at how the weather affects us and how we dress accordingly. We learned the names of clothes in French and made people to dress according to the seasons.

We already order our lunch tray in |French and now we have started ordering sandwiches in French!

In maths, we are looking at adding multiples of tens and are using different strategies to help us.

In Literacy, we wrote a poem about our favourite season. It was an acrostic poem.

We also had a M.A.D assembly – we did lots of talking with other chidren from all areas of the school!

Enjoy your weekend!

We have had a busy week in P1!.  This week in maths, we started our addition work using the Numicon and we have been busy painting our numbers up to 10.  Next week we will be looking at our numbers up to 20 and counting before/after.

In writing this week we read the story of a haunted house and wrote about scary things happening at Halloween.  Our WOW word of the week is creepy!

We have been busy practising our songs for The Nativity.  This year’s performance will be ‘The Sleepy Shepherd’, more information, timings and tickets will follow nearer the time.  Please note Nativity performances will be on Tuesday 12th December (afternoon) and Wednesday 13th December (morning).  We look forward to seeing you there 🙂

Dear Parents/Carers                                         RESURFACING OF SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS

While the front playground has no access/exit, in the morning P1 + P2 + P3 pupils will go straight into the Gym hall, P4 + P5 pupils will go to the playground area at the pencil fence and dining hall and P6 + P7 will stay in the back playground.  PSW’s will supervise the children in these areas and class teachers will collect their class from the designated area.

At the end of the school day P1 + P2 + P3 will leave through their normal doors, P4 + P5 will exit through the doors in the Gym hall and P6 + P7 will exit through the blue glass doors.

When the back playground is closed all access/exit will be through the main gate where the Crossing Patrol is.  P1 + P2 + P3 pupils will go straight into the Gym hall (up the side of the pencil fence) and P4 + P5 + P6 + P7 will stay in the front playground.  PSW’s will supervise the children in these areas.  Class teachers will collect P1 + P2 + P3 from the gym hall, P4 + P5 will line up at the glass door at pencil fence and P6 + P7 will enter through their own door.

At the end of the school day P1 + P2 will leave through the main entrance door, P3 + P4 will exit through the glass door at the pencil fence and P5 + P6 + P7 will exit through their normal door.

Our first week back has been very busy getting back into the swing of things. Our new topic is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and over the next few weeks we will be using this to look at substances, mixing, dissolving and changes in state. In maths we are starting to look at the connections between fractions and decimals, and we will be adding in percentages. Our language this week has been linked to our new topic and we have written a letter to Prof. Albus Dumbledore in response to his offer to become a student at Hogwarts.
