Friday 12th December
Dear Parents and Carers,
It is nearly Christmas, yay! We are still busy working though, with some fun activities too. This week we
have continued our non-fiction and have written our own recounts about our school trip to Bygones. We are
really looking forward to our topic in January which will be ‘royalty’. As you know, on Tuesday 13th
January we will be having a fairytale hook day. Please can the children come to school dressed up as
their favourite fairytale character? I’m certain magic will happen on that day…
Next term we will be learning the abridged meeting tale ‘Prince Cinders’ by Babette Cole. It is a hilarious
twist on the classic fairytale ‘Cinderella’. We will be learning some very exciting sentence types to up-level
our writing. Have a look at this interactive book of Prince Cinders,

In maths this week we have been consolidating our work from last week by using place value to solve
problems. Over the Christmas holidays it would be brilliant to really revise and secure the children’s
number bonds within 20 and their counting in 2s, 3s and 5s from 0 and in 10s from any number. You could
make this a game! Thank you for your support.
Congratulations to all of the children and staff behind the first Nutcracker Performance. It was
fantastic!!! How exciting to see Queen Victoria there, I do hope she enjoyed it. I must say a huge thank
you to Mrs Green, Mrs Herrera, Mrs Squibb and Mrs White who are so busy working behind the scenes
doing things that are amazing and well beyond my skill level! 
We had a fantastic RE dazzle day on Judaism. We each made a beautiful yad to use with our special books
at home. Maybe you could use your yad to help read books at home instead of using your finger.
Next week on the last day of term, we will have a whole school Christmas Party day where the children can
bring a small plate of food to eat as well as eating their lunch, a toy to play with in a named bag and wear
mufti for the day.
Please see the return of this sheet for the new spring term show and tell rota.
Thank you, Miss Dowle
