Friday: Crystal time. Children can bring in a bike or scooter (with helmet) or a toy as their reward for filling the Crystal Jar. 😊👏🏻👏🏻
I’m afraid we were so engrossed in our new topic last week that there no photos! We are learning about castles and are looking forward to enjoying tales of knights and princesses. If you have anything castle related, please send it in!
The month of May sees the Year 2 children taking their SATs. Over the course of the month, the children will work in small groups to complete different test booklets which have been set by the government covering reading, maths and spelling. However the children will not notice anything out of the ordinary and there will be absolutely no stress or pressure attached to them. They should hopefully be unaware that they are even happening. As with all tests, they are useful to see which learning has really stuck and what we may need to teach a little more. SATs are not a measure of whether your child is passing or failing; they simply show what level your child is currently working to.
If you are planning a holiday in school time during May, please let me know so I can plan accordingly. And please do not discuss the tests with your child – it may prompt them to think they are a big deal and encourage feelings of pressure which no 6 or 7 year old should feel!
If you have any questions please ask! 😊
A week on Tuesday, after the Bank Holiday, we have our trip to Pizza Express. If your child has any allergies or intolerances which school may be unaware of, please let us know as soon as possible. Thank you!
