Dear Parents and Carers
Eco initiative
Well done to Clemmie who requested to run an assembly to raise the awareness of Eco Bricks. These are bricks made from plastic bottles filled with other plastic waste, which are then compressed into bricks that can be used for building. These ecobricks can be used in any country, and Clemmie focused on how they are used in the African continent.
Clemmie and the Eco Council would like to do more with ecobricks, but first we need to decide whether we will make and use them at school, or send them to another country for use. Watch this space.
Well done to this superstar for a fantastic haul of medals for a recent swimming competition!

Coram Life Education
Thank you to Sarah from Coram Life Education for coming in this week (with Harold the Giraffe!) to teach the children some essential life skills. Please aks your child what they learned about with Sarah and Harold.
Thank you
Thank you to Embers Camping Company for donating lots of packs of cereal. We will pass these onto families who will appreciate them.
Golden Ties
Golden ties are very sought after and pupils are delighted when they have earned on in our awards assembly.
We seem to be running short of the elasticated golden ties, so if you have one at home, please could you pop it back into the school office. Thanks

Talking to your child about ‘War and Conflict’With the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas making news headlines around the world, the likelihood of the child or young person in your care reading or hearing about it is increased. On the INEQE website there is a useful, shareable guide designed to help you support them around this difficult and sensitive topic. |

Reception Year News
What have we been learning about in Year R this week?
The children were very excited to share their half term news and listen to what others had been doing during half term. Thank you to everyone that shared photos with us, which were also shared with the class. The children also completed some drawings and writing about their half term news.
In Maths the children have been learning to subitise with the numbers 4 and 5 (identifying when it shows 4/5 without needing to count). They have also been learning to represent the numbers in different ways. The children have used their fingers to show the numbers 4 and 5 in different ways. Ask your child at home and see if they can remember some different ways to make 4 and 5 with their fingers.
The children have completed the week talking about fireworks and thinking about how to stay safe around them. They have also been making some wonderful firework craft.
The children may have come home and told you that we have changed the classroom round a bit. However, we are lacking some storage for a couple of things and wondered if anyone had any spare tubs, like the ones in the photos, that we could have please. We are needing 2 if possible.
Next week:
In Maths the children will be focusing on 1 more/1 less than a number up to 5 and the children will also be looking at the composition of numbers up to 5. This is where the children become aware that all numbers are made up of smaller numbers and that these are referred to as ‘parts’. The children will be exploring different ways to partition a whole number up to 5 into 2 parts.
The children will be introduced to their new core text ‘Augustus and His Smile’. The children will be making their own tissue paper tigers and discussing what made Augustus smile and what makes them smile. They will also complete some writing linked to this.
As the weather is getting wetter the puddles have been increasing in size in our outside area and the children have been extremely excited to step in them! We have made the decision to ask for wellies to stay in school so that they can be used when it is wet outside. Please could you send your child in with a named pair of wellies. These will stay in school and be sent home at the end of each term. We do already have all in one waterproofs that the children can wear when it is really wet outside.
Have a lovely weekend.
