Amazing illustrations

This week the children have been looking closely at illustrations-particularly those by Scott Nash who is the illustrator of the Flat Stanley books. They have been considering the different shades used in the pictures and recreating these in pencil. It looks like we could have some potential future illustrators in Year 2 as the pictures they have created are amazing. Next week we will begin looking at how Eric Carle illustrates his books- a very different approach to Scott Nash!

We only have one more week before The Goblin Next Door appears at school for 3 shows on 1st, 2nd and 3rd June. All the children are working hard to sing the songs and remember their lines. Some very interesting costumes are also starting to make an appearance so it is shaping up to be a great show. Over the next week we will be rehearsing very hard.

In Maths we are taking a close look at fractions- halves and quarters, what they mean and how to find fractions of shapes and numbers.  We will also be continuing to recall and calculate using our times tables and division facts. Our team activities will focus on these as we present a range of problems for the children to solve.

Our writing over the next week will focus on using speech marks and the children will be learning how to represent speech from speech bubbles into written text.

Friday 29th May- Uniform free day.
Wear your RUN FOR HUGO t-shirt to school if you have ordered one or wear any clothes but bring in 50THB to donate to our Term 3 MAD focus, research into mitochondrial disease. 

Friday 5th June will be the RUN FOR HUGO where we will be seeing if together as a whole school we can run a marathon!
