We entered May thinking about Mary, Mother of Jesus. The children prepared a lovely display ‘Mary, Queen of Apostles’ . They were singing the hymns beautifully and their behaviour during the assembly was exceptional!

We celebrated Mary on the writing table too by sending messages and lovely drawings. The children are using their phonics brilliantly!!!




On our making table we designed special Rosary beads using pipe cleaners.

Catholic Social Teaching
The children learnt so much about our new topic Dignity of Workers. We discussed how God created the world and he created humans to work in the world to keep it a happy, peaceful place for everyone. So everyone who works is loved by God and must be respected by everyone. We also learnt that respect is about thinking about others before yourself and making sure everyone feels like they are important and their presence valued. The children dressed up with different outfits and named the profession behind each outfit.

In Little Wandle we continued learning phase 4 sounds, but this week we focused on words with short vowels like train, track, bring and smash. We also learnt 4 new tricky words. Please practice these at home too for building fluency.

In Maths we determined what are the best 3-D shapes for tasks such as rolling or stacking. We considered why this is the best shape as well as what different 3-D shapes do or do not have in common. This helped us to develop spatial reasoning skills.


And finally but not least, congratulations for all your hard work and motivation! You truly deserve the awards, red sash and golden rosette!!!
