Weekly Update 27.01.23

Hello!
We have enjoyed a slightly shorter week In Lime Tree due to Monday's training day. I was happy to see so many smiling faces returning on Tuesday!
We started our week with a visit from some Paramedics. As part of our superhero topic we have been looking at fictional heroes and real life heroes. The Paramedics talked to us about their job, showed us some of their equipment and even taught us some first aid. We had a great morning!
In Maths, Year 1 have continued to learn how to count in 2s, 5s and 10s and have written repeated addition sums (e.g. 2+2+2=6) to match pictures and arrays. In Year 2 have progressed on to multiplying and dividing by 2, 5 and 10 using grouping and sharing methods.
In English all the children have written their own version of Traction Man by using their imagination to create his mission with the Shark Scissors as the villain.
In Science we have continued learning about materials and discussed the suitability of materials for different purposes, based off the material's properties.
A letter was sent home on Thursday about our 'Superhero Day' which will take place on Wednesday 8th February. Please sign and return the permission slip if you are happy for your child to watch The Incredibles (PG) as part of the end of topic celebration.
Finally, a reminder about our plans for World Book Day which is coming up in March. We recently sent a letter to all parents detailing our plans to hold a decorate a t shirt theme for the first time. Please see below. We kindly ask that all financial contributions are made by next Thursday to allow us an appropriate length of time to order t shirts and the resources required to decorate them (and of course to give the children chance to decorate them before WBD!). We have received some queries this week regarding sizing for t shirts - please note all children will receive an oversized t shirt as this will give them much more space for their book cover design and ensure every child in school has a suitable t shirt to wear.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Cotterill
