W/E: 19/06/2026.

In Maths, we have now finished our topic on fractions and have started our new topic on time. So far, the children have been learning to tell o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. They have been working really hard and are becoming more confident when reading clocks. Please ask your child to tell you the time at home whenever possible, as regular practice will help reinforce their learning.

In Guided Reading, we have started a new class book called Bad Panda. The children are already enjoying the story and finding it very funny!

In RSE, we discussed our local environment and the different people who help to look after it, including community volunteers, bin collectors, street cleaners, local residents and park keepers. The children reflected on how grateful we are for these people and wrote thoughtful thank you letters to show their appreciation.

In Music, we continued our learning with Swing-a-long with Shostakovich. The children explored how beats can be grouped into patterns and how music can be organised into 2-time and 3-time. Working in pairs, they created their own body percussion patterns using actions such as tapping their heads, shoulders, knees and toes.

We also enjoyed a Playleading session with Year 5. The older children taught us lots of different games, and Year 2 had a wonderful time learning new activities and working together.
