This week we will continue with our topic of superheroes. This week we will be focusing on the qualities of a superhero and how we can all be superheroes in the way that we act and behave. The children will learn about real life superheroes and we will learn about Florence Nightingale and why she is considered a superhero. On Friday we are asking the children to dress up as a superhero. They can come in wearing a costume they already have or can come in representing a superpower such as spreading happiness and wear yellow, or sparkle power and wear sequins. Please do not go out and buy a costume specifically for the day. Talk with your child about their power so they can talk about it in school.
Last week the children started in their new phonic groups and have been working hard to learn new sounds. Continue to read with your child at home every evening and sign their diary each time. Your child will also have a book and quiz set online on Oxford Owl that they need to complete. Below are some extra videos for practice at home.

This week in Math’s the children will be looking at numbers to 20 and counting, demonstrating a knowledge of the number one more and one less. They will also use the language of First, Next, Then to tell addition sums. They will use pictures/ toys to tell a simple addition story e.g. First there were 2 frogs on the log. Then 2 more frogs came on the log. Then there were 4 frogs on the log.
The children enjoyed the lovely summer weather last week and spent a lot of time outside. We noticed that a large number of children are not coming into school with the right protection. Please apply sun cream to your child before they come to school and provide them with sun cream that they can reapply themselves during the day. If they struggle with this then it may be worth applying an 8 hr cream so they are protected for the day. Children should also come into school with a named sunhat and a refillable bottle of water (not juice). Children should also come into school with a waterproof jacket with a hood so that they have it available should the weather change. Thank you for your help and support with this in helping to keep your child safe in the sun.
On Wednesday 21st May RMT will be performing their class assembly to parents. Please come to the school hall for 8.50 on the day.
Have a lovely week
