Story telling in KS1 with Taffy Thomas, the world famous story teller! To find out more about him visit his website here: http://www.taffythomas.co.uk/
We have had lots of fun learning about Jackson Pollock and recreating some of his work. It was very messy, which we loved the most!
Learning about the life cycle of a butterfly! We used pasta shapes to re-create a life cycle. It was lots of fun.
Important things to remember in Class 5:
- Children are expected to read at home with an adult at least 4 times a week. All children have a 'Superstar Reader' diary that we ask parents to sign every time your child reads.
- Friday is P.E. day. Children need their full P.E. kits in every Friday. We have some spare kits if children forget but not enough to lend to many children. We recommend that their kit comes in at the start of every half term and stays in school until the next holiday.
- Spellings are given out each Friday and written into children's spelling diaries to prctise at home. They have a spelling test every Friday afternoon.
- Homework is also given out every Friday and to be brought back into school by the following Wednesday.
