Week Beginning 22nd May 2023

Our final week of the term has seen each class travelling to a different country to find out more as part of our Big Wide world topic. Forest class have been exploring France, Mountain Class, Morocco and River Class, India. The children began the week by discussing what they wanted to find out and produced some interesting questions they wanted answers to. Over the week we have found out about food, habitats, famous landmarks, animals, culture, and much more as well as learning a few key words from a different language.

We have been reviewing our maths learning this week and completing our writing about our trip to the Ashdown Forest. Our little garden area is also beginning to flourish and we are enjoying the better weather as we continue to make the most of our outdoor area, the woods and the field for our PE lessons.

Although we typically don’t set home learning over half term (apart from continuing to read), we are keen to share an invaluable resource to support you as parents to help your child’s mental health and online safety awareness.

NSPCC have recently launched their ‘Positively Online Campaign’, with content supporting parents to help their children navigate the online world. It includes six top tips, two videos and a great quiz that families can take together.

The idea is to get parents talking to their children about their online wellbeing and what we can all do to feel more positive when using the internet.

Links to resources, tips and the quiz can be found here: NSPCC online wellbeing and positivity

We also say goodbye to Mrs Tan this week. We are so grateful for all her help and expertise with our children and wish her every success in her new venture.

We hope you all have a super break and look forward to welcoming your children back for their final term (where did that time go?) in June.
