Dear Parents,
We hope you are having a good bank holiday weekend . This term our topic is growing and changing. We will be looking at humans, creatures ,plants. This week we will be continuing with the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and developing our outside garden area. We had great fun planting our beans and we will be caring for them and making sure they have the right conditions in order to grow. Our caterpillars will be arriving this week and again we will be following their transformation into beautiful butterflies.In maths we will be looking at subtraction problems .
Thank you to all the parents that attended our second Stay and play for reading. The children are so happy to have you and reading is so vitally important.
Well done to Barbados class for being such remarkable readers they have been unbeaten in winning the most children reading prize for several weeks now. Come on St Lucia and Jamaica I feel we need to move that door sign this week.

Learning Challenge
Each half term we will be setting our pupils a challenge related to their learning. We believe that it is important for us to provide guidance for parents on how their children's learning can be extended at home.
The learning challenge will include either a nursery rhyme, famous person, illustration or a piece of music. Please talk to your child about the challenge and help them to engage in their learning. The children can choose how they present their learning challenge outcomes to their teacher or class.
Person: Mr Bloom
Piece of Art: Eric Carle - illustrator
