Summer 2

This half term Orange Class have got a packed schedule full of fun and exciting learning opportunities. Our topic is called "Splish, Splash, Splosh" and so we are learning all about water. We will be trying out different water proof clothes, trying out and designing umbrella's whilst trying to avoid getting wet! We will be looking at different uses of water around the school and running our own car wash! 

We have several exciting trips this half term we are going on a trip to Bedford to look at the river and bridges and we will also be going to Cassiobury park in Watford to have some fun in the water. 

In Literacy we are reading a book called "All Afloat on Noah's boat" which is about a talent show on Noah's boat. I'm sure Luton Library stock the book if you want to read it at home or you can buy it from here. 

In Numeracy we will be doing our best to incorporate water into our lessons although this isn't always possible. 

We also have sports day coming up this term, and watch out for a newsletter which will give you the dates.

As always please keep writing in the home school books as it always helps us to know what the children are up to at home.

Spring 1

One of our Spring Term topics is ‘What a performance’. Over the course of the half term we will be building up to a performance of “It’s the Bear” by Jez Alborough. We will be making masks, having picnics, making puppets and going on several trips to different woods. Feel free to read the book to your children at home you can buy a copy of the book from here:

In literacy we will be looking at various books, most of them revolving around Bears.

As part of our topic we have done a lot of work on bears, making bear masks and following bear prints. We even went on a trip to Ashridge woods to see if we could find any bears, fortunately we didn't.

In Numeracy all children have continued to make progress and have enjoyed the ongoing creative maths lessons we do in Orange class to make learning fun.

The children have found the mud outside on the field very interesting to be the, all of the children have loved splashing around on the field and getting mucky in the mud!
