Hello Year One,
What a wonderful way to end this half term!
The children have loved this celebratory week!
They have drawn portraits of Queen Elizabeth and designed Jubilee hats for her to wear.
The cake making was not as successful as I would have liked but they enjoyed the process!
They loved learning the lyrics to 'happy' especially as it is Year One's class song. They hear this song when we need motivating or cheering up and it works! They change for PE to 'Happy' and sometimes we just have a good old dance!
The children were very proud to decorate Jubilee plates and I am glad they have a souvenir from this special time in history.
We have done lots of research on Queens, especially Queen Elizabeth 2nd and as it is her Platinum Jubilee week the children wrote about why the country will be celebrating over the coming week, some facts about Queen Elizabeth and how we would be celebrating at school.
The children designed fruit and vegetable prints and chose the colours they wanted to use. The final prints have been sent home and I am sure you will enjoy them. We even talked about what type of clothing the design could be used on as they are so pretty and colourful!
We have been learning the value of coins this week. The children can find values up to 20p using different coins, so if you go shopping maybe they could have a go!
Please ask your children to read as much as possible during the break. They have all changed their books and taken a couple of extra books home for the holiday.
If your child was give a phonics sheet please practice with them as often as you can. You can use other words or make up alien words with the specific digraphs.
I hope you all have a lovely restful break and look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 7th June.
Ms Davis
