May Dance

We hope you all enjoyed the May Dance today.The children danced and sat beautifully and it didn't seem to matter that the sun wasn't out.

This week we have been exploring weighing. We have used maths words such as lighter , heavier, heaviest lightest, balanced and equal weight.

In Literacy we have been learning a poem about a steam train. We were thinking about using rhythm in the way we recited the poem.We also noticed that the poem had repeated lines. 

We have also been using the touchpad on the laptops to click and drag.

There is no home learning for the holidays. The children have come home with several letters so please check the book bags for these

We return to school on Tuesday 5th June. The coin challenge starts this day to so any loose change e.g. pennies and 2p pieces will be gratefully received.

Enjoy the holidays, have fun and keep safe.
