We have had a busy two weeks in Caradoc and the children have been wowing us with their hard work!

In English we have completed our own Troll Swap stories and have started looking at a poem called The Owl and the Pussycat.  In Maths we have been learning about 2D shapes as well as using a number line up to 100.  In PSHE we have been focusing on families and how they are the same and different, and in RE we have been thinking about how forgiveness feels and looks.  In Science we have completed experiments to test the bounciness and the stretchiness of different materials, and in Geography we have created 3D maps.  In PE we have been moving in different directions quickly and in Art we have created leaf drawings using wax crayon and watercolour.  Last Friday afternoon we had a space afternoon where the children created their own astronauts and their own satellites.

Congratulations to our Stars of the Week.  Last week it was Brooke for working hard in her writing, making sure she uses all the features we have been learning about.  This week it was Michael for his fantastic effort in PE.

Well done to our star of the week, Aurora, for being a ray of sunshine.  Also to Artur for last week for always being a great role model.

The children have settled into Caradoc beautifully this week, everyone has been happy and eager to join in. We spent our first three days getting to know each other, learning our class rules and expectations, and working as a team.  The children have shown me their writing skills, how far the can count up to and the numbers they recognise, as well as building, junk modelling and sharing how the adults in class can support them best. We also visited our school library on Friday.

We are all looking forward to the year ahead and diving straight into our first learning week. Please remember we have our PE sessions on a Monday and Thursday so all children need their school PE kits in.

If you have any questions, please do let me know via dojo.

Wow, what a final week we have had! We have had so much fun showing off what we have been learning in our lessons by making posters, and working together to make up our own PE games and playing board games.  We have also done some free crafts as well as playing one of Mrs Lewis’ alphabet picture games. We have watched the Year Six Leavers Assembly and took part in Holy Trinity’s got Talent. We also said well done to Mathew who was our values champion for being such a kind and caring boy, a great role model and showing resilience in his writing.

It has been a pleasure teaching your children this year.  Their progress has amazed us and they are all more than ready to start Year Three.  Thank you for the cards, gifts and kind words.  We wish you all a fantastic and safe Summer.

Thank you,

Mrs Thompstone, Mrs Morgan and Mrs Lewis.
