15th May 2015

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have had a busy week working on our Sowing and Growing topic, making fruit out of whicker and paper, learning to multiply and divide, and continuing our study of The Wind in the Willows.

Sports Day
Don’t forget Key Stage 1 Sports Day will be on Thursday 21st May at 2pm on the field. We hope you can all make it.

SATS
We will be carrying out our Writing SATS next week. In Key Stage 1, we keep it as low key as possible. The children will do 2 written tasks on 2 different days. They will be sitting in our classroom and it will be very like the Big Writes which the children have been doing all year. We try our hardest to ensure the children do not get stressed about the tests. The test itself is only part of our assessment, and the final grade will take into account work carried out in the course of lessons as well. We will do the reading and maths tests after term. If you have any questions, please come in to see either of us.

Swimming
After half term, our PE lessons will take place in the school swimming pool! Our sessions will be on Monday and Friday so please ensure that your child has their costume (no bikinis, please) and towel in school every Monday and Thursday. As always, please ensure their kit is labelled.

Thank you.

Mrs Burns and Mrs Smitheram.

St Piran Class Newsletter Friday 15th May 2015

This week

This week in Maths we have been learning about division and multiplication. The children have been multiplying and dividing, using objects to support them.  In English we recorded our own audio commentaries for our sensory trail which we will be taking Trevithick class on next week.

Homework

For your homework I would like you to write about something you have done this weekend or a previous weekend. For example you might have gone to the park or to the beach or attended a birthday party. I would like everyone to write at least one sentence. Don’t forget your capital letters, full stops, and wow words. As an extra challenge write a diary entry about one event which took place during the weekend.

Support tips:

  • A recount is a type of text which re-tells an event. It is written in the first person and in the past tense.
  • Events should be written about in chronological order.
  • Help your child to read through their own writing to spot their own mistakes.
  • g. First I went to the swimming pool. Then I got changed. After that I got into the pool and had my swimming lesson.

Phonics

Next week in phonics we will be learning about the alternative spellings for ‘oo’ and ‘sh’.

 

Sports day

KS1 sports day will start at 2pm on Thursday. If due to the weather we need to cancel it, we will let you know on Thursday morning. Hopefully we will not need to rearrange but should we need to we will reschedule a date for after half term and inform you as soon as possible.

 

Lost glasses

A member of St Piran class has lost their black Moshi Monsters glasses. If anyone finds them please hand them in to a member of staff.

 

Many thanks

Rachel Kitaruth and the St Piran team
