Summer Term 2024

W/C 22nd April

We have enjoyed reading more of our new story, ‘Jack and the Jellybean Stalk.’ This week, we have tried a variety of flavours of jellybeans. We really enjoyed describing the taste of them. Grandma Fantastic helped us learn new words to describe what they looked like. We really liked the following words: crimson, scarlet, citrus, fruity and emerald. We also pretended to climb up our own jellybean stalk!

In Maths, we have been practising our careful counting, especially when we can’t move the objects.

We have been learning about minibeasts and how to spot an insect. We are looking forward to moving onto learning about lifecycles.

A big well done to Arlo who won the treat hamper for the weekend. Keep reading and recording for your chance to take it home next weekend!

W/C 16th April

We have had a great start to the new term. Visiting Bowthorpe Farm was a highlight. We have enjoyed writing about our visit and talking about what we enjoyed. The children have received another stamp in their activity passports.

In Literacy, we have started reading ‘Jack and the Jellybean Stalk.’ We have also been introduced to Grandma Fantastic. Grandma Fantastic helps us to learn new and exciting words. So far, we have been introduced to the following words: crushed, devastated, gloomy, troubled. Can you use these words at home too?

In Maths, we have been exploring odd and even numbers. We have used the Number blocks to help us understand.

I have attached some exciting information about our new reading incentive. Will you be the first family to take home the treat hamper?

Good luck!
