Our RE topic is all about Friends. We made a Friendship board, and chose photos from the year that show all the great friends we have made, and the special times we have shared! We all enjoyed talking about our friends, and thinking about what a good friend should be. 

Hi all!


This week we have all celebrated Adopt a Monarch week. Our class Monarch was Alfred the Great! The children have really enjoyed learning facts about Alfred, baking cakes, and today made beautiful stained glass windows of Alfred, just like the one in Winchester Cathedral.
We also made time lines of Alfred's life.


I thought I would share photos of the displays of our learning, and our castle role play area, which is currently home to pictures and facts about Alfred, as well as costumes and food!


Next week we look forward to learning all about the Royal family!

Can I please remind all parents to return water bottles and PE kits to school, as we had many missing today!
Please also check your child has bought home the correct kit as some seem to have been put back in the wrong bags!
Many Thanks
Miss Smith

Today we enjoyed learning more about our class Monarch, Alfred the Great. A story tells that Alfred, tired after a battle, found a peasant lady living alone in a small house. He asked to rest a while by her fire. She kindly agreed, asking him to watch some cakes she was baking while she popped out. When she returned King Alfred was fast asleep and the cakes were burned.
Today we baked cakes and discussed the burning process. They were yummy!

Please remember our class assembly next Thursday 21st June, at 9:15 am.

Over half term we received an exciting package.... inside were signed photos, and a note from Olympian Tom Daley!
He signed photos for the children who had personalised their letters to him!
I was so pleased that both Tom and Rebecca replied to us! Considering how busy they must be, it's great to know they appreciate their supporters!

Today in School the children will be celebrating the Queen's Jubilee with a Garden Party! They are invited to bring cakes and sweets and dress in red, white and blue!
Yesterday the children enjoyed making cucumber sandwiches in honour of the Queen. They had to butter the bread, cut the cucumber and then cut the sandwiches into 4 triangles. We were impressed by some children's skills using cutlery!

Have a great half term and we look forward to hearing about all your Jubilee celebrations in the new term!

Remember children do not come back to School until Tuesday 12th June.
