we 16th June Year 1

Hi All,

It has been a , busy, busy week in school with the fabulous children from our twin school from South Africa in school. You have probably seen them about, and a number of Year 1 families are hosting children, which is exciting and also very busy.

This week in English we will finished writing our stories and will start to work on instructions.

In maths, the children looking at money and addition and subtraction problems.

This week Silk radio is coming in to speak to the children about the Elizabethfontein school, it is very exciting – times and information about the broadcast will be on the newsletter.

Our highlights of the week were hard to do because of sports day, but I do have some from the previous week to share.

• ECO day – the man from Lower Moss Wood telling us stories about his times in Africa with Bigboy the lion.
• The Buddy concert – ‘I cried with happiness remembering last year.
• Watching the Halle percussion section – for come and meet the musicians.
• Stroking owls on ECO day, she was very soft.
• Making a thank you card for Mrs Hext.
• Making my wormery.
