This week we have:

…had our classroom sealed off due to a unidentified disaster!  Mr Kettle had the yellow substance tested and it is not poisonous - thank goodness!  So far we think it might be alien space cake, alien poo or it is a result of someone performing their version of a marvelloyus medicine!

 

 

HOME- Our new whole school topic 

We have begun our new whole school topic- Home. This has been planned around the theme of the importance of our homes to us and the human conflicts and natural disasters that result in homelessness for others. We are hoping to use photographs of our children’s homes as part of our displays. If you would like to, please send or e-mail a photo/copy of your home into school after half term. Thank you. 

 

 

RWI

Following assessments at the end of the term the cnhildren have been placed into new RWI groups.  Your child will have had a sticker in their diary informing you of their new group and teacher.  Each time your child changes groups they will be given a bookmark. This book mark has the red words listed.  Please practise these with your child as it supports fluency in both their reading and writing.

MATHS

In maths we continue to explore the numbers from 11 to 20.   This unit lays the essential foundations of place value, as children begin to recognise the place value of each digit in a 2-digit number. This is an important skill that children will develop when they add and subtract and begin to work with larger numbers.This week sees us exploring 'doubles' and 'near doubles'.

 

HISTORY and GEOGRAPHY

We have explored the invention of the bike and how its design has changed over the years.  We have also learned abour George Stephenson and how his invention of 'The Rocket' influenced the trains we travel on today.   We will now investigate the invention of the motor car and how designs have chanegd over the years and the reasons behind those changes.  This links with our geography where we will explore how people could travel further following these inventions.

 

 

SCIENCE

In Science we will be investigating objects, the material which it is made from and its uses.  we have put post it notes around the classroom to label items with the material they are made of.

 

RELIGION

In religion we will be learning about the Easter story and what happens in church at Easter

 

PE

Our PE days are Wednesdays and Fridays. Please come to school wearing appropriate PE kit- White t-shirt, black/blue plain hoodie and tracksuit bottoms or shorts, hair tied back and earrings removed or covered with own plasters.

 

Snack

Children in KS1 receive free fruit.  Children do not have to bring a snack from home but if you wish to do so we ask that it is a healthy option and just one item, please. Please also rembember we are a NUT FREE SCHOOL. Please can you also make sure that your child only has water in their water bottle; juice, however, is fine at lunchtimes if your child brings a packed lunch.

 

Birthdays

We love celebrating the children's birthdays and hearing about all the exciting things they are doing. We appreciate that it is not always possible to invite the whole class and we would ask therefore that in these instances that invites are given out before or after school.  Thank you.

 

Please don’t hesitate to contact us via a note in your child’s diary or through the office if you would like to discuss anything about your child.  admin@lostockgralam.cheshire.sch.uk     01606 668270
