Purley CE Infant School Class 1 We have shared the children’s holiday news in small groups. The children then wrote detailed sentences about their holidays trying hard to remember capital letters and full stops. We have also been looking at nursery rhymes. We have sung a variety of nursery rhymes and have talked about what the nursery rhymes were about and which words rhyme. We looked at the nursery rhyme ‘The Queen of Hearts’. The Year 1 children made up a new verse for this nursery rhyme thinking carefully about words that rhyme together. We also made jam tarts carefully following the recipe. The Year 1 children have made recipe books with instructions for making jam tarts. The Reception children looked closely at the nursery rhyme ‘Jack and Jill’. They drew a picture of their favourite part of the rhyme and they wrote detailed sentences to go with their pictures. In Numeracy, the Reception children have been learning what tally marks are and how to use them. They have also been comparing objects by length and weight. The Year 1 children have been practising partitioning numbers into tens and units. Class 2 The children have really enjoyed looking through their family tree boxes and sharing them with their friends. Thank you so much for helping them to put them together – they are so interesting! In Literacy, Year 2 children became newspaper reporters and produced a front page of their own newspaper with their holiday news. As a class, we have been looking at poetry around family members and the children have written poems in different styles. In Numeracy, the Y1 children worked on finding a small difference between two numbers using number lines. The Y2 children were adding 9 and 19 to a 2-digit number. They added numbers mentally by adding 10 or 20 then subtracting 1. Both Year 2 and 1 practised activities for our Sports Day and singing for the Sing-a-long at St Mary’s Church. Year 2 children did their reading, writing and maths SATS papers. Well done to all the Year 2 children for working so hard this week! We are very proud of you all. CLUBS (w/c 13.06.11) Monday: Dodgeball Club (03.00-4.00) Tuesday: Cheerleading (03.00-03.35) Thursday: Gymnastics Club (03.00-03.50) VALUES This term’s value is Justice. We will be thinking about how Justice is a community where everyone is valued and everyone’s well-being is linked with everyone else. We will also be thinking about Justice for those people in countries where there are many poor people or where war is taking place. SCHOOL PHOTO Due to the bad weather (yet again!) we were unable to take the whole school traditional photo outside earlier this week. The photographer is coming back on Monday 27th June to take it. Could all the children come in full uniform including summer dresses (checked) for girls, red school jumpers and cardigans please (with logo). SPORTS DAY Don’t forget Sports Day is taking place on Wednesday 15th June from 09.30. The children will need to arrive at school at the usual time. This event usually finishes at approximately 11am. You will also have received a letter about the team your child is in. YEAR 2 RECORDER LESSONS don’t forget to bring your recorders and books for Monday’s lesson. VOUCHERS You can still bring any left over Tesco vouchers to school. The Sainsbury’s vouchers came to an end during half term so please check all your pockets and handbags for any lurking around! Every single voucher does make a difference to the school. We are able to bank vouchers for next year too. Thank you for your support! MESSAGE FROM FOPS Please find attached details of our sealed bid auction for two train tickets for use any time, any route on the First Great Western rail network!! Don’t forget all bids to be sent to school by Friday 17th June. HAT AND SUN CREAM As the weather is hopefully becoming warmer, may we remind you that the children need a sun hat to wear for playtimes and outdoor Games lessons. The children may also use a high factor sunscreen (SPF 15+) – please apply sunscreen before arriving to school. If you wish, you can send your child with a named sunscreen bottle which must be handed to the class teacher to be kept in a cupboard and can be used to top up if they do outdoor games in the afternoon. Please ensure that your child doesn’t bring sunglasses to school as they can be dangerous when children are running about at playtime or during sports activities.
