Apologies but there wasn’t time to mark all the homework this week. If your child’s work has not been marked please leave it in the folder and I will mark it next week.

We are very excited about our trip to the Tower of London on Monday. The following information has been sent home in book bags but just in case:

Please bring your child to school as early as possible (gates open at 8.40am), we will hope to be on the coach by 9am. If you are running late please ring the school, we won’t leave without you!

Your child should come in school uniform along with a suitable coat (please check the weather forecast).

You child needs a packed lunch in a drawstring bag or small backpack (PE bags are ideal and are being sent home today). Please remember no fizzy drinks and no food containing nuts as there are nut allergies in the class. It would also be a good idea to pack a snack for later in the day as we have an early lunch slot.

The coach journey is unpredictable due to London traffic and there are no toilet facilities on the coach, so if your child often needs the toilet it would be a good idea not to give them too much to drink before the journey. Everyone can go to the toilet before we set off.

Your child may bring a small card game for the coach journey that can be easily carried in their bag (e.g. Top Trumps), but strictly no electronic devices.

We aim to be back at school by 3.15 but if there are any traffic delays we will phone the school office and they will contact you.

Finally, thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help out (so many!) and sorry we couldn’t bring you all, but there will be other opportunities this year to come in and help with trips and events.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Dear Parents,

This week has been dominated by the exceptionally cold weather and I have had to work your children extra hard to keep them warm.

I have been very impressed by the no-nonsense approach the class have taken to the weather.  My football club braved all the elements on Monday and on Thursday, we had to walk to Mandeville School (for the Alban Arena singing practice) and the children’s behaviour both en route and whilst singing at Mandeville was fantastic.

Have a great weekend,

 

Mr Creaton

This week, the children have been exploring patterns and considering ways in which they can change the shape, size or quantity as part of a pattern.  They have designed some wonderful new vests for Little Robin Red Vest and are very proud of these.

2nd March is the Year 1 Cake Sale.  The children will be designing posters for the sale and then displaying them all around the school.  If you have time, enjoy baking cakes with your child; alternatively, shop bought cakes are very popular too.  Thank you very much for your support!

On 16th March, we will be holding a History Day – your child is invited to come into school dressed as a character from history.

 

Refreshed from the break, we have been working hard on report writing in English and exploring world habitats in science. In maths we have been investigation the relationship between multiplication and division. February has also proved very popular for birthdays!

Dear parents and carers,

We have had another busy week. The highlight of this was our class mass which Fr Tim kindly celebrated for us.  We were delighted that Mr Petch (our class link governor) and Mr Bedford were also able to join us. The children’s behaviour and reverence was impeccable and the musicians in the class were able to use their talents to accompany the singing.

 

We have been doing further science experiments  – this week we were able to obtain a ‘pure’ sample of salt from sandy rock-salt.

 

 

Have a good weekend,

 

Mr Creaton
