Head Lice

We seem to have an ongoing problem with head lice in Room 6. Please can you check your child's hair and treat if needed. Even if only one person does not treat head lice they can spread through the class and this is unfair on those who are regularly checking and treating. Thank you for your help with this.

Shapes

This week we used the giant skipping ropes to make shapes out in the playground. The children had to work together to make the correct number of sides and corners.






Some shapes were easier than others. It was tricky to make the square because we had to make sure that the sides were all the same length.

Term 2

Welcome back to Term 2.

We are starting the term with a focus on Road Safety. Yesterday we looked at the pedestrian crossing outside the school and it was interesting to see how many cars did not stop when someone was trying to cross. Next week we will starting the Keeping Ourselves Safe unit. If you are interested in finding out more please come to the parent information meeting on Tuesday 10th May.

For the rest of the term our topic focus will be on different cultures and celebrations. It would be wonderful to hear from any parents or other adults who would like to share stories from their culture or talk about their cultural ceremonies and celebrations.

This term we will be continuing to think about what a good learner does. So far we have decided that a good learner knows what they are learning and why, takes risks, is responsible for their own learning and sometimes makes mistakes.

Although hats are not compulsory this term it is still very sunny so it might be a good idea to send one in with your child for playtimes and PE.

Telling the time

Today we went into the playground to make a giant human clock. We looked at a few different times including 3pm and 12.30pm as these are important times in the school day!
