Dear Parents and Carers,

This week we have been finishing off our Town Mouse and Country Mouse topic. The children have produced some great work this term and they should be really proud of it.

I am really pleased to let you know that we have been able to give all the children in Year 1 and 2 access to the Mathletics programme. This is a website which has maths activities and questions to support your child’s school learning. Once your child has logged on, they will be directed to individually levelled activities. To access the site, log on to www.mathletics.co.uk and sign in using the username and password on the card in your child’s book bag. Children work towards certificates by earning points from correctly answered questions.

Next term, as you know, Mrs Smitheram will be teaching the children on Mondays and Tuesdays, we will jointly teach them on Wednesday mornings, Mrs Bennett will continue to teach on a Wednesday afternoon and then I will teach on Thursdays and Fridays. The children and I are really looking forward to working with Mrs Smitheram!

Our topic next term will be Sowing and Growing. We would love to grow some plants in our outside area so if anyone has spare containers or some compost, we would be really grateful.

Over the holidays, please ensure your children keep reading regularly and keep a note in their reading records. It makes such a difference to their progress.

We will be doing athletics next term in PE, so when the children come back, could you please ensure that they have a full PE kit with trainers or plimsolls. All kit needs to be labelled to avoid confusion over whose kit is whose.

I hope you have a lovely Easter, fingers crossed for some lovely weather!

Mrs Burns
