The children had a great time on Red Nose Day. They donated money to come into school dressed in red and shared a red snack together while wearing their red noses.

As part of their maths learning, the children found as many different ways as they could to pay for a £1.25 red nose. We also looked at the Comic Relief website and thought about the good that would be done as a result of their donations.

The children ended the morning by writing messages of thanks to our classroom cleaner Mandie, who has been working at St. Adrian’s for over ten years. They were very pleased to be able to give Mandie their messages, best wishes and a gift later in the day. Thank you once again Mandie.

On Friday, Year 1 and Year 5 paired up to share their favourite stories. It was lovely to hear the children reading aloud and enjoying each other’s books!

As part of our design and technology topic, linking to our animals topic in science and toys topic in history, the children have started to design their own hand puppets. The children will need to be able to sew two pieces of fabric together and so we practised this skill yesterday with a big, plastic needle. The children realised that it was trickier than it looked, but persevered with the result of some great running stitches!

Some of the children will be working on their life-saving skills in swimming this week and have been asked by their swimming teachers to bring in pyjamas for their lesson.

Thank you!

During this week, the children have been inspired by the stories and poems that they have heard in our daily assemblies. I have attached a website which has a list of recommended reads for Year 1 for you to enjoy with your children. These can be found in your local library.

Happy reading!

Dear all,

This morning, a parent informed me that some of the words on your children’s spelling list this week are the same as some of the spellings that they have had before. I can only apologise for this! Whilst I was away sick in the middle of last half term, Mr King kindly set the spellings and went from my list. I had not realised this and must have doubled up some of the spellings! However, it would be no harm to reinforce these words and we will continue with the spell check as normal.

Thank you for your understanding.

Mrs Teixeira and Mr King 🙂
