What an amazing week we had celebrating the fantastic story of the
Rainbow fish. Each class became a sea of sparkles as the children became
absorbed in the story. The children had the opportunity to mould and manipulate
the glittery play dough , hunt for fish amongst the sparkly water as well as
colour mixing and printing with celery. The week was concluded with an exciting
Rainbow fish theatre workshop which really brought the story to life for the
children. The children were also encouraged to use words such as gills, scales
,ocean reef as well as sea creature names such as puffer fish, lantern fish and
shark.We will be continuing with our sea stories next week by reading more
Rainbow fish tales and other sea creature stories.
The children are becoming so much more comfortable now at Lunch times.
The children were more confident in their choices and had a greater awareness
of the systems. To continue helping the children to thrive please look at the
options below and see which choice suits your child the most. If the choices

Thank you once again for your support in helping at home with your
child`s reading. Many children have now learnt a few key words and are really
enjoying sharing their books at home. May we remind you that we give your child
one long individual read a week, During the week during literacy sessions we
recap key words and our environment is rich in books. We will now be looking to
see which children have read three times a week at home. The class that has the
most children achieving this will win a special award to hang up on their
classroom door and get a special mention in assembly. So please remember to
sign those reading diaries every time you read with your child.
This week during our Read,write inc sessions we covered the sounds
i--iii insect
t-t-t-tower
n-n-n-net
During our number sessions we met the characters Freddie Four,Fiona Five
and Seal six.The Read,write inc sessions and the Number activities are a very
popular part of the children`s day.
There are still a few children who haven`t yet brought in their p.e
kits. Please ensure your child has a p.e kit in school before Tuesday .Thank
you. We are trying to encourage all children to be able to put on their own
coats or at least have a good try. Please encourage your child to do this at
home too and let us know if your child is making really positive progress in
achieving this.
Please remember to send in your child`s Wow certificates. The ones we
have had have been so lovely. The children are so proud to stand at the front
while we share their amazing achievements.
Please can you also remember to send back your child`s aspirations leaf.
Once again it is wonderful to read about your hopes and wishes for your children.`
Please continue to look out for messages and pictures on the Mead Primary School face book
page and the Mead Primary School website. Please remember to speak with school
staff if there is anything you are unsure of or you have any concerns.
We look forward to another good week in school with your children
