This has been such a wonderful and busy week! The weather has been fantastic and we have heard all about your amazing long weekends. We really hope you had a fun extra day to enjoy. The children have been very excited as tadpoles have been donated to Reception.
In English this week the children have learn the order of the colours of the rainbow through the mnemonic, Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain. They have organised their ideas in groups around certain colours considering describing words.
On Wednesday 25th April, ten children from Year 2 represented our school at the Dartford School Games: Infant Agility Festival. This is a competitive event aimed at children in Key Stage 1. The children took part in a series of field events, demonstrating their balancing, throwing, bowling and jumping skills. Each school was scored on a points system and the overall highest achieving team goes on to represent Dartford at the Kent School Games final.
We have an exciting week this week! Lots of children have been creating dens in the woods, gathering sticks and planks to create tipi like structures. We’ve even used rope and tarpaulin to shelter us from all of the rain!
This week in Year One we have continued exploring the text, ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ and have considered how the story may end. They first used drama to act out their own ending to the story before mapping the ideas. The children then used their story plans to retell the original story with their own alternative ending.
This term we have been learning all of the skills required to play tennis in PE. We have learnt the ready position, how to hold our racket correctly and how to serve the ball over the net. We have really enjoyed playing lots of skills-based games to help us towards playing a proper game of tennis. We are still working on our hand-eye co-ordination (some have mastered this better than others!)
