Year 1 have been learning all about explanation texts. They have been writing about the life cycle of a plant, which year 1 have also been learning about in science. They also wrote about the topic 'How bees make honey.' Angelpreet was able to recall and write some amazing facts about the process, while keeping her presentation beautiful and using full sentences. 

In maths year 1 have been learning about money. They have learned to find the total and change from 50p and £1. Why not make a shop at home and practise finding the total and change? Or even go to the real shop and buy a small treat and work out how much change you will get? 

Year 2 had a fabulous workshop led by Mrs Hussain, as part of their RE learning on Jummah.  They learnt that Jummah is congregational prayer held on a Friday just after noon at the mosque. Praying together as a community is meant to develop the feeling of unity among the Muslim community.  

Over the past few weeks, children in every class took part in The Federation of Children's Book Groups, Children's Book Awards. Reception and Year 1 read 4 picture books and voted on them and Year 2 read 3 chapter books and voted on them. We then submitted our votes online and the overall winners will be announced at the beginning of June.  

It was lovely to see so many parents in school this week celebrating our children's learning in KS1! And congratulations also go to all the parents who successfully completed Mrs Hester's phonics workshop series last Friday! Reception parents - Mrs Hester will be sending out invitations to targeted parents after half term so watch this space and do take up this fantastic offer if you are invited.
