Birthday ‘treats’

Posted on Wednesday 26 January 2011 by Mrs Taylor

We are currently reviewing our Food in School policy and would welcome parents’ / carers’ views on ‘treats’ brought in for birthdays.

Within school we recognise that providing treats can create pressure amongst parents / carers, reduce teaching time, create problems with allergies and create litter.

A number of parents /carers have given their views to Mrs Taylor before school today in the playground.  However, if you have any views on this and whether we should ban or discourage birthday treats please contact Mrs Taylor via the office.

The homework this week is Creative and is due in Wednesday 26 January.

I can design a costume for a member of the circus.

The children have just learnt about materials so a discussion on what everything is made of will be productive.  Here are some suggestions but, as always, the more creative the better!

  • A costume for a clown including separate designs for their hat and equipment.
  • A costume for a ring master including their cape and top hat.
  • You could design clothes for animals in your circus.

One way to make this homework excellent would be to include labels and descriptions of materials used.

Relax and Read!!

Posted on Thursday 20 January 2011 by Mrs Weekes

January 2011 073In Year 1 we spend time every day reading; it might be reading with an adult or it might be reading independently.  Please remember that it is important to read “real” books as well as the reading books that the children bring home; your child will become a much more fluent reader if they experience a wide range of books.  There will be a leaflet coming home soon with some questions you can ask your child when they have read a book as it is essential that they understand the different features of the text. 

Enjoy some reading time with your child; it is a very valuable and enjoyable time!
