Maths
This week we were excited to have 2 days “Maths days; more specifically our BISB’s annual Primary Maths Days. The children had
the opportunity to choose two activities and they worked with other teachers
and children from different year groups.
We prepared by creating games of our own to
introduce and to play with Year 1 children. They put a lot of effort into their
board games and the younger children really appreciated it. See the school
newsletter for more details and photos.
Literacy
In Literacy we have commenced a new unit on Adventure and Mystery writing.
Spidergrams were introduced and seemed to be a good way of collecting lots of
interesting words about a topic.
Note that due to Maths days this week we did not set a "Big Write" topic and we will have our weekly spelling test on Monday next week.

Thank you for returning the consent forms. The
outstanding amount of 17,000 HUF needs to be returned to the Reception Desk now
please. The staff at Reception will be able to receive the money and provide
you with a receipt for the payment.
If you should have any further queries please do
not hesitate to ask.
Note that the last swimming session for Year 3
Sahara was this week. Now the children will have athletics until the end of
Term and we will have Sport’s Day – see calendar on school web site for date].
In line with school Policy everybody will need a SUNHAT in school.
Being
sun smart also came up in assembly. As the weather warms up, it is vital that
all children bring in their hats. Children who do not have a hat on during
outside play will need to sit in the pavilion.
As Mr Russell says,
“No hat,
no play; no fun in the sun today!"
We also
encourage the children to bring in sunscreen for extra protection.
Monday’s
assembly highlighted the importance of eating healthily, particularly at break
times. Nurse Nicola compared the nutritional value of a piece of fruit to a
packet of crisps – a snack that some children are bringing in to school. We
encourage all of our children to make healthy choices; your support as parents is
appreciated – thank you.
Enjoy your weekend!
