Ahead of World Book Day, which is held on Thursday 3rd March, we would like to invite all children to make a book character from a toilet roll tube (or something of an equivalent size that you have at home). You can bring them into your class on World Book Day and one child from each phase will win a special prize! Below are some photos that might give you some inspiration but please let your imaginations run wild! We can’t wait to see your creations! #LovePlover

Green peace visits, finding fractions and hot seating a turtle!
On Monday, we were fortunate enough to have a visit from Dawn, a volunteer at green peace who warned us about the dangers of plastic to our environment and shocked us with some scary facts! We had lots of questions to ask us and she was pleased we are taking plastic pollution so seriously. My key take away from her talk was that no plastic is even better then recycled plastic, I’m thinking I might try and find alternative ways to wrap up my sandwich at lunch instead of using plastic wrap. What will you do?
I have been very impressed with the children’s ability to see fractions, and to recognise that each part of the shape must be equal. The classroom is flooded with models that we will no doubt be using throughout the week to help us identify fractions of shapes, length and quantities. Talk with your adult at home about how you can find fractions in shapes (a great excuse to convince parents and carers to feed you pizza for tea!). Remember the important word is equal!
Cheers to Brooke for role playing as a turtle today in our seating. We have been very inquisitive and empathetic, considering how our human impact is making such a devastating impact on our sea creatures.
See you tomorrow!

Green peace Expert
Yesterday, Dawn an expert worker for Green Peace came in and shared some valuable knowledge about how we can help to save our beautiful world. The children learnt about how damaging single-use plastic is, so don’t be surprised if they start changing their habitats to make a difference to our planet! #LovePlover
Finding Features
This morning 1M were critiquing different news paper reports and then they completed the jigsaw to make our writing model. They finished by labelling the features a news report has: Name of newspaper, Title/heading, picture and caption, opening paragraph, information. #LovePlover

Postcard Winners!
One of my favourite things to do is give my class postcards. I have noticed Aseel has been doing such a lot of reading at home. She is becoming a bit of a whizz in phonics lessons and her spelling has really improved in her writing! This is because she reads so often that she’s always building on her knowledge of sounds, graphemes and common exception words. It is so important and believe me I notice if you have been reading at home! Well done Aseel!
Well done to Brooke yesterday for getting to the top of the praise letter for her excellent coaching and smart behaviour. A super role model for 2B!
A little challenge for you all – 10 crew coins if you can spot the mistake in the model at the back of the photo with Aseel! Keep up the good work everyone!
