Hello KS1 parents, carers and children,
Newsletter number 10! My daughter Aimee has a quarantine countdown in her room that she updates daily. She finished a couple of days before us on the Wednesday while we finished on the Friday but look how many days we have been at home! I’m missing the good weather though as I was loving sitting out in the garden reading my book! The year 1 and 2 team are having many meetings now to get ready for when you come back to school, whether that is before the summer holidays or afterwards. I also had a lovely treat this week - a postcard from one of our year 2 children. I so enjoyed reading it!
As usual, have a look at the key stage 1 photo album to see what your favourite teachers have been doing in lockdown life!
This week I’ve pinched an idea from Mrs Naylor who has been writing the year 5 and year 6 newsletter. She has given the children one picture and then lots of activities to complete about the picture. Sometimes a change is as good as a rest they say so I thought we would try something a little bit different too! Hope you like it!
Remember that school will be back open again on Monday 8th June, so you will be able to go and collect new learning packs again as usual.

Britain’s Got Talent
You will know from my assemblies that I love this programme. It can show us amazing examples of never giving up and being a great friend.
Last weekend, there was an amazing act, which looked at the damage that we are doing to our oceans. Watch the act here and talk about it with a grown up or an older brother or sister. I thought it was so powerful! Did anything surprise you? Write down some of the facts that you found interesting.
You will need to go onto You tube and search Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) – The future of oceans is in our hands!
Take care, stay safe and well and enjoy spending time together!
The KS1 team!
