St Marie's Catholic Primary School

Year 1 have celebrated Arts week! Everyday for the last 10 minutes we have shared our videos, art work, writing and music making! It has been so much fun and such a lovely end to each day.

This week we have all completed our phonics quiz, we all tried our very best. We looked at the parts of the plant in Science and the job of each part and acted out their function in small groups. We have also been finding quarters in Maths.

A great first week back! Our new topic is Geography "Where do the wheels on the bus go?" We have looked at where we live in the Atlas and recapped the countries in the United Kingdom. In RE we have looked at ways we can help and support our Global neighbours in other countries. In science, we have learned about the parts of a plant and planted our own beans with a partner. We have been working hard to recap all of our sounds in preparation for our Phonics screening next wee

A lovely first week back at pre-school! The children have enjoyed using their imagination when playing in our new 'ice cream parlour.' We have released our butterflies into nature and waved them farewell. We have explored alliteration in phonics, creating silly sentences with our names and have taken part in an observational drawing of a pineapple.

We will be 'Difference Detectives' and investigate different life cycles and how things grow and change.

Please see the attached Parent Information Sheet for information on what we will be learning about in Y5 this half term.

Well done, Y5, on all your homework from this half term. Y5 have worked hard to produce some very persuasive letters, poster and presentations on which rainforest animal we should adopt and which charity to support. Next half term, we will announce the animal and charity that the class will be adopting!

Happy New Year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the lovely Christmas gifts and for your continuing support. Kind Regards, Mrs Hawkins
