We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and we are so happy to see everyone back to school this week to start another busy half term. Thank you again to everyone for their kindness over the Christmas and for all the lovely cards, gifts and well wishes we received.

Sadly we said goodbye to one of our staff at Christmas who has retired. Margaret will be a great miss to both the team and school and we wish her lots of happiness in the next part of her journey. She has already been back to visit this week to say hello to everyone. We welcomed a new member to the team on Monday, Kevin. We are happy to have Kevin with us and we are sure he will settle in to the class in no time.

This half term we will be starting a new topic…. Robots! We have already had lots of fun activities across lessons learning about and making our own robots. In English we will be reading ‘No-bot, the robot with no bottom’ by Sue Hendra. We started looking at the story yesterday which led us on to doing a treasure hunt around school to find No-bot’s bottom. The class enjoyed getting in to groups and looking around school for clues leading them to find the bottom and some treasures. In Maths the children have been building their own robots using various shapes.

In P.E this week the children enjoyed taking part in tag rugby. Our instructor Reece was fantastic with the children and everyone was really engaged and had fun. We will be continuing with tag rugby for the remainder of this half term. In Science we have been learning about push and pull. The class enjoyed using different objects to move around using the language push, pull, fast and slow.
