The final week of the academic year has come to an end!
The children all loved the KS1 Disco on Monday evening; I've never seen so many creative dance moves!!
We have had a wonderful week reflecting on everything we have learnt over the year and sharing our favourite moments. The children have also enjoyed lots of art and music.
All that's left to say is thank you so much for the end of year gifts and for your support over the year. It has been a joy to teach each and every child in Lime Tree Class.
I hope you have a wonderful summer and I will see you again in September!

We have had a fun-filled week.
The children have enjoyed spending money at the Year 6 market stalls.
Thank you for everyone for coming to see our garden homework projects. I loved how original each of the gardens were and the children were all very proud of their hard work.
On Tuesday the children enjoyed visiting their new classrooms and meeting their new teachers in preparation for September.
In science the children have enjoyed finishing learning about plants and wildlife by sketching and painting a sunflower.
On Monday, Key Stage One can enjoy their disco after school until 4:45pm. The children can wear their party clothes to school on this day but please make sure the outfits still allow the children to play outside comfortably as the rest of the day will be as normal.
Enjoy a hot weekend and I will see you again on Monday for the final week of the academic year!

We have had a great week. In English we have written shape poems about different ocean animals and we enjoyed reading these to each other.
In maths we have played lots of games and recapped different subtraction strategies as well as how to make different amounts of money using different coins.
The biggest highlight of this week has been the trip to Harlow Carr to recap what we've learnt in science this half term. The children all enjoyed identifying different trees, collecting minibeasts and finding out the age of different trees. 
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday!

A cooler week has come to an end!
The highlight of the week was definitely a visit from a hedgehog charity on Thursday morning. The children learnt all about hedgehogs and even got to meet a baby hedgehog. See Facebook for photos of the experience!
In maths the children have enjoyed applying their arithmetic to solve some more abstract challenges. We have also continued learning about mass and have used the scales to measure the mass of lots of objects.
In English the children have written some wonderful shape poems about different ocean animals. They enjoyed working with a partner to create a word bank of ideas and have also worked hard to write their shape poems in neat.
Just a reminder that the trips to Harlow Carr are next week. Year 2 are going on Wednesday and Year 1 are going on Friday. All the children are very much looking forward to it.
Some general reminders are below:
- Children need to wear their school uniform but can wear trainers as they may be more comfortable for walking in.
- All children need to bring a lightweight waterproof coat just in case it rains. This is an outdoor visit. We know the weather can be very changeable. The forecast is sunshine and rain so some pre-applied sunscreen and a hat to wear would be a good idea too.
- Packed lunch – please do not send your child with fizzy drinks or any glass containers. We also ask that you avoid nut products as we do have children with allergies. It is nice to have some treats in a packed lunch for a trip but please do not send too many chocolatey or sweet treats.
- Children will need their water bottles (containing just water please).
- The coach will be leaving at 9.00 am so please make sure that your child arrives to school on time. We will open the doors a little earlier to give them all time to go to the toilet before we leave.
- We will be back at school for the usual pick-up time.
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson
