Happy Easter!
There goes the second term of the academic year. We've had a really good term in Class 2 learning about The Great Fire of London (and The Great Fire of Northampton, of course).
I hope you've enjoyed the Easter open afternoon and church service - the children worked very hard on their 'hop hop hop' song and their Easter poem.
This week the children finished off their mini D.T. project - designing and making a new loaf of bread for Thomas Farriner to celebrate the end of The Great Fire of London. They baked and decorated their mini loaf (roll) before evaulating its appearance, smell and taste. See below for photos!
Over the holidays:
Please read with your child as often as possible. The children have two free choice reading books to keep them going.
Please help your child to learn their common exception word spellings. I've updated each child's spelling card in their folder to show which words they spelt correctly on their recent test. Any un-highlighted words are the ones they need to practice.
Continue to work on your child's target maths facts with them (see their maths booklets).
If you and your child would like to do more, you could:
* Visit Northampton Museum and spend some time in the History section, learning more about The Great Fire of Northampton
* Send me a postcard c/o the school, telling me about what you've been up to (a few sentences would do for Year 1, around 4-5 for Year 2!)
* Do some planting! The children have been learning about the parts of plants and what plants need to grow (we've planted some sunflower seeds but they haven't got far yet).
I hope you all enjoy the next two weeks and particularly have a restful Easter weekend. See you soon!
Mrs Simpson
