Good afternoon KS1 Crew,
This Friday (4th February) is the national NCPCC Number Day. We would like all children to come to school dressed up as a number. Please find below some great ideas for dressing up. We canāt wait to see all of you! #LovePlover
Today we have been learning about simple life cycles (we focused on the life cycles of a frog) and habitats! I wonder if any of you can write sentences at home about what you have learnt today? Take a look at the photos below of the some of the cycles we were able to work out. I particularly loved solving our riddles. Sometimes I only needed to read the first line and the children could tell me straight away which sea creature I was talking about.
Just a quick note – I forgot to add to my reminders about number day on Friday. Please come to school wearing anything number related, the more creative the better! If you have a football top with a number on that would be perfect! Alternatively you could write numbers over an old t-shirt. Iām excited to see what you can come up with. Also please record how many minutes you are reading with your child at home, the old reading records had a tracker on the back. Iāve been having to track a million minutes on a spreadsheet, but it is still happening so record your minutes! Every minute counts and it makes a huge difference!

Some important reminders!
P.E tomorrow! Please bring appropriate kit.
Spellings have gone home today. Please practise these, use ālook, cover, say, checkā! We will be testing spellings on Friday. I have chosen the words Iāve noticed as a class we are frequently spelling incorrectly.
Digital leaders – This is an exciting opportunity for one member in each year 2 class. We are looking for our very own students to coach the year 2 teachers on how to use everything technical. They will have the amazing opportunity to be trained up on things such as ipads and Apple Macs and then be given time to train me up! But there is a catch, you will need to apply! This can be done any way you like! You might want to write why you would make a good digital leader, or even film a short video. Please send applications to me by Thursday. Only children who consistently achieve 3ās and 4ās in their HOWLs will be considered. Itās not up to me to choose though, so make them really good! Keep your eye out for all the posters in the windows to read more.

Today in expedition children learnt about a variety of habitats and the animals that live in them to survive. Check out the children’s drawings and explanations below: #LovePlover
Fantastic work from Casey who has created this artistic under the sea collageā¦ using recycled materials to help save our oceans! More children fully immersed into our current expedition and wanting to continue their studies! #LovePlover
Students in Year 2, 3, 4 and 5 have an amazing opportunity to become a Digital Leader within their class.
This is a fantastic opportunity for children to develop their own individual skills when it comes to the latest technology. Children who are successful will get the opportunity to visit XP East and potentially the Apple Store to have further training on how to use technology including iPads, MacBooks and some of the other great products that are used throughout school. Our Digital Leaders will then become the experts who can then pass on their knowledge to others.
Below is a link to the Digital Leaders website where you can find out further information.

Applications will need to be sent to Miss Lotysz by Thursday 3rd February explaining why you would make a fantastic Digital Leader. This can be done in a format of your choice including a letter, slides or even a video showcasing your IT skills.
We look forward to receiving your applications!
I have been really proud of the improvements these superstars are making in their writing. They are really trying to compose accurate sentences, sounding out their words and using their phonics. Keep up this fabulous work.
This photo says it all! Bursting with pride, and so you should be! Jarvis has been working so hard, not only at school, but at home too. This was a science experiment that he did at home (bouncy eggs). He is so enthusiastic towards learning and is showing to go above and beyond and extend his learning at home.
keep up the fabulous work dude.
