The week before half term was certainly very busy for KS1. We completed some fantastic writing about the adventures of a very clumsy pirate called Pirate Plank and his parrot Nelson. Mrs Caswell kindly brought her parrot in to inspire the children, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
The same week on the 23rd October 1/2 FJ had their class assembly. It was a wonderful assembly and it was clear how hard the children had practised. We really appreciated the support of the 1/2 FJ parents in providing costumes, props and for so many of you watching our performance. Thank you!
Friday was indeed very busy… Later that day we had a mental maths competition. The children did a fantastic job and the KS1 staff were all very proud of their efforts.
A new half term saw the children begin a new topic ‘Out of shadows’. The children have certainly been enjoying learning about different sources of light, along with the history Guy Fawkes and his Gunpowder Plot.
There will be a slight change to the children’s home learning from this half term. You may have noticed that the Year 2’s received 3 pieces of home learning. However, the Year 1’s continued to receive just 2. This is due to the introduction of a new national spelling, punctuation and grammar assessment for the Year 2’s.
From now on all children will need to complete
- One activity from the grid.
- The maths activity provided by your child’s Maths teacher
- In addition, the Year 2’s will need to complete
- An activity sheet to support our work on their spelling, punctuation and grammar
We would very much like to thank you for your continued support this year.
