Welcome to the new school year! Over the last couple of weeks we have been settling the children back into routines and reminding them of the rules and expectations around school. We have been getting to know each other as classes and beginning to get into a regular routine.

Art Project - Mix It 

Our first project of the year is an art project called Mix It Up! Year 1 children have been learning about the primary colours and the colour wheel. All children have been exploring mixing the primary colours and year 2s have been focusing on creating different hues. 

Attached to the blog is a knowledge organiser with key vocabulary and ideas on.

 

RSHE

The half term our theme for RSHE is Being in my World. In RSHE lessons we follow the Jigsaw Charter and use our Jigsaw pieces and Jerri cat to help with discussions. We will be thinking about being part of the class and belonging, rights and responsibilities and also rewards and consequences.

 

RE

During RE this half term we will be focusing on Christianity and the question What did Jesus teach?  We will be listening to Bible stories about kindness and thinking about if it is possible to be kind to others all the time. 

 

PE days are as follows...

Sage - Monday & Wednesday

Teal - Monday & Thursday

Emerald - Thursday & Friday

 

Please make sure all children have a coat and welly boots in school-we try to get outside as much as possible. Thank you! 

 

Please try and make sure children are reading 5 times a week and record this in their reading diaries.
