Hunting for Mildred

In Literacy we have been looking at the story of Dogger. It is the endearing story of how Dave’s beloved Dogger was lost and found. We experienced the same emotional journey as Dave by hunting for our Year 1 crocodile, Mildred, who was eventually found in Mr Roundtree’s office!

Here are some pictures of us hunting for Mildred.

Practice Makes Perfect:

This week’s homework is to practise high frequency words. These are words that your child will come across regularly in their reading books.

• Let your child read through the words. If he/she can read the word colour it in.
• Continue doing this until your child can read all the words independently.
• PLEASE be aware that children may not know all the words, but with practice and repetition these words will become familiar.
• This piece of homework may take a few weeks, so please keep referring to it.

If you have any questions just ask Mrs Maver or Mrs Weekes.

This week’s spellings are adjectives and adverbs.  In the list below, you can see a lot of adjectives can change to adverbs just by adding ‘ly’.

We are doing a lot of work on these in class to make our writing even better!

Visit to Abbey House Museum

To launch our new topic, ‘TOYBOX‘, we visited Abbey House Museum in Kirkstall.  It was an excellent day and there was a lot of exploring to be done looking at old and new toys.  Thank you to all of the children for their fantastic behaviour while out of school.  We received great compliments from museum staff.

Stranger Danger

Today, children in Year 1 – Year 6 in our school have had a brief reminder of the importance of being aware of ‘stranger danger‘.  For example:

• not getting into a stranger’s car
• making sure they go home with the right person
• not encouraging chat with strangers

We encourage you to talk to your child about this as well. 

There has been a number of incidents in Leeds schools this term so far.

We want all our children and parents / carers to be safe, happy and healthy learners.
