Hello Class 2 Parents,
EDITED to add photos of pizza making!
I'm sure it won't last long (I just don't trust this year's seasons) but it feels very warm and summery where I'm sitting. It was lovely to see you all at our sports' day - I was very proud of Class 2's participation and positive attitudes!
A few notices:
I've taken in all reading books now, but if you would like a few books for your child to read over the holidays let me know and I can find some.
Please send your child in with a big bag next week (a big backpack or a shopping bag) to bring home their school books and a few pictures etc
Unclaimed clothing will go out on a table on Tuesday after school so please come and see if you can claim any of it!
We've been doing a lot of finishing off this week:
* The children finished their petroglyphs which will be coming home this week. Ask them about the symbols and what their carving shows.
* They finished learning about weight. If you want something to do this weekend, spend a bit of time with your children looking at packets of food around the house to see how much they weigh. The children particularly enjoyed feeling a 1kg weight!
* They finished their final pieces of writing in their English books. This was entirely independent so I hope you enjoy looking at them when the books come home.
* Tomorrow (Friday) the children will be participating in a well-deserved marble jar treat - making pitta bread pizzas. They will also be making fruit kebabs - a D.T. project started with Miss Pratt a few weeks ago.
* We've been doing a lot of science this week. The children have taken part in five investigations:
- are younger people always faster than older people? (a question the class came up with)
- are taller people faster than shorter people? (another question they came up with - we've been doing a lot of sprinting practice this term!)
- can we make a blob of plasticine float?
- which material would make the best race track?
It's been another good week.
See you soon!
Mrs Simpson
