Dear Parents,
We’ve had a fantastic and full week in Year 1/2! Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to and what to expect in the coming days:
🔤 ABC Countdown Fun!
The ABC Countdown continues to bring smiles and excitement to our days! 🎉 I’ve included an A3-sized version of the countdown in your child’s folder to help you keep track — I know it can be tricky to remember all the special days!
🎲 Monday is G for Games Day!
Please send a card game or board game with your child on Monday. We’ll have a fun time playing and sharing together!
📅 Important Days This Week
❌ No School on Tuesday and Friday
🏅 Sports Day is on Thursday — I can’t wait to see you all there, cheering and having fun together!
🐴 Field Trip Fun at Pony Land
Last Tuesday, we had a whinnying good time at Pony Land! 🐎
The children:
Rode ponies
Fed sheep and fish
Touched some very interesting bugs 🐛
It was a jam-packed day of discovery, laughter, and learning — fun was truly had by all!
🧮 Maths
Year 1 worked on:
The number line to 100
1 more, 1 less
Comparing numbers with the same number of tens
Comparing any two numbers
Year 2 focused on:
Drawing and interpreting pictograms (1-1)

📊 Year 2 will complete their end-of-unit assessment this week. Great job, everyone!
✏️ Literacy
We continued exploring the busy city with our curious bear friend from our class story “Goldilocks and Only One Bear!”
Year 1:
Practiced using capital letters for place names
Reviewed different ways to spell the /ee/ phoneme and used them in writing
Year 2:
Described the city streets using expanded noun phrases
Learned to use the suffix -ful and wrote about what the characters might do in the busy city
📝 This week, we’ll start planning and writing diary entries about the new cities we are going to imagine, name, and create!
🌱 IPC – Plants and Living Things
Our grassy heads are growing well-they have so much hair now! 😂
We have been:
Naming parts of a plant
Using our senses to describe leaves
Sorting and discussing living and non-living things — the children really enjoyed this interactive activity!
Here are some pictures for you to enjoy-I will email more from the trip-too many to upload here 🙂
