End of Autumn 1

 

We've had a lovely week, spending more time exploring the leaves that have fallen off the trees and looking at the colours of them. 

We have also been exploring Halloween and all things spooky, as our children showed such an enthusiasm to our story, 'A Dark Dark Tale'. 

We learnt all about Black History Month this month, and listened to Martin Luther King's speech, ''I have a dream''. We each printed our hands, choosing a colour most like our skin colour and wrote our dream for what we want to be when we grow up.

 

This half term has flown by and the children have made such a lot of progress. For the half term holiday, please make sure you practise the sounds we gave you at parents evening, and the handwriting we will give out on the last day.

Leaves Falling Down

 

This week, we have been learning all about the different leaves we find in our garden, and how they are changing because of Autumn. We are used some of the leaves to do some leaf rubbing to make a picture. 

Autumn Hunt

 

This week we've been learning all about Autumn and how the season changes. We explored the falling leaves from the trees and searched for the different colours. We also looked for twigs, berries and a squirrel. Unfortunately we didn't find any conkers, pine cones or acorns as we don't have any horse chestnut, pine or oak trees in the garden. 

 

On your walk to school or home, maybe you could look for some of the signs of Autumn.

Musical Instruments

 

This week we have been using the Disney Pixar animation of One Man Band for our Literacy text, where we have been writing a story about how Penny disliked the music. 

 

We collected some junk modelling materials and the children had a go at making their own instruments. 

Exploring our new environment

We've had such a lovely week exploring our new environment in our first full time week of school, where we've started phonics, literacy and maths.

 

We are enjoying using our senses to explore the areas in our classroom and our garden.

Settling

The children have done so well with getting used to their new school routine. We always expect, that after the first few days, there can be a couple of tears as they realize that they have to come to school everyday, but they soon begin to see how much fun there is to be had. 

This week they've been exploring their new indoor and outdoor environments; engaging with playdough, farmyard animals, construction, jigsaws and colouring. 

Class of 2024-2025

Welcome back to the new school year. We're so excited to see you all, and can't wait to get started. 

For the first week, we have two teacher training days and are then completing home visits and consultations so we can meet all of our parents and children before they start school. 

 

Our start dates are:

Monday 8th September - children new to Anglesey - 8:45am-11:30am (no lunch)

Tuesday 9th September - all children - 8:45am-12:30pm (lunch provided)

Wednesday 10th September - all children - 8:45am-3:15pm (lunch provided)

 

Important to know:

  • Please make sure your child comes to school in the correct school uniform. If they are in incorrect school uniform, you will have to take them home to get them changed. 
  • At the end of the day, you MUST be on time to pick your child up. The gate to school will open at 3:05pm, and the children will be dismissed at 3:15pm. If you are late, you will need to collect them from the school office. 
  • Attendance is VERY important. Any missed days equal missed learning, which they will need to catch up on. 
  • Children will need a red school PE bag filled with spare clothes, that will stay on their peg at school. 
  • Children will need to bring their bookbag to school every day. Please read with them every evening. 
  • Children will need to bring a water bottle to school every day, clearly labelled, and only filled with water. 
  • PLEASE label ALL school uniform. 

 

We will upload to Tapestry a couple of times a term, but most of our learning will be uploaded to this class page once a week.
