Class 1 have had an amazing first week back after the Christmas break. They have made my first week back at St Mary’s after maternity leave extremely enjoyable.

In phonics we have been consolidating set 1 sounds ready to start learning new set 2 sounds next week – very exciting!

This half term our topic in ‘Once upon a time’. This week our story focus is The Three Little Pigs. The children have enjoyed listening to the story and retelling it in their own words using key language from the text.

In maths we have been practising our subitising skills. The children have been explaining how they know the dot arrangement is a certain amount using language such as ‘I can see 2 dots and 2 dots so I know that is 4’ or ‘that’s 5 because I can see 4 and 1 in the middle like on a dice’.

The children have also enjoyed music where they were putting actions to songs and also learning about different materials having different uses.

It has been a very busy week but the children have really shown this half term’s school value of positivity. What a positive start to the spring term!

Reminders:

  • PE days are Monday and Friday
  • Reading records and books need to be in every day
  • Next week forest school will be on Tuesday afternoon – please bring in wellies/hats/gloves/waterproofs. We do have a selection of school waterproofs if you would prefer.

80th Anniversary D-Day

We had the honour of commemorating the 80th Anniversary of D-Day with personnel from RAF Shawbury. It was a humbling experience to hear serving personnel speak about the significance of D-Day, the importance of remembrance, and to witness our students march in solidarity as a class.  The children were fascinated with the RAF Museum’s artefacts and  enjoyed interaction with them.  A big thank you to the RAF from St Mary’s for making this day very special.
