The children have worked very hard this week.
This week out big book in reading workshops was 'The Balloon'. Ask your child which was the last animal to get out? In reading and writing workshops we have explored the letter T and what a word is. In Maths workshops we are learning about the number 3, patterns and circles and squares. This week we made a circle and square pattern snake. Our unit work has been focusing on making good and bad choices, as we begin to explore the parable of 'The Good Samaritan'. Our class vision is building and we made some amazing friendly fish to show how we want our class to feel. We have been learning about how our bodies can feel safe and unsafe. We have added to this knowledge to talk about body parts, including private body parts.
This week also marked the start of Lent and the children were able to experience Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. As part of Lent our school takes part in Project Compassion. We ask the children to donate money to help others less fortunate then themselves. We have a box on our prayer table that the children will be asked to place their donation in. Each week the Year 6 leaders will collect our box and count our donations. We have a poster beside our door to mark how much money our class has raised. Each week I will tweet a photo update of our total. Lent is about giving and Project Compassion helps to give back to our world. Each week they will hear a story about how the money will help other people in our world. We ask they children to help with chores at home to be able to collect money to donate. Your donations are greatly appreciated.

A few reminders:
Brain Break
Every day the children will have a 'Brain Break' to help them refuel and boost their concentration in the classroom. Please send in a healthy snack (fruit or vegetables only) preferably cut up, in a named sealed container to be eaten mid-morning. This break will only be short (approximately 5 minutes) so please keep this in mind when preparing this snack.
Please help your child to be aware of their Brain Break. Please show them if you have placed it in another container or if it is in their lunch box. As of next week they will be unpacking all their things by themselves, so it is important they know what it looks like.
KIT Folders
The KIT folders are to be returned to school daily. They will be sent home each afternoon and it is important that they are returned each morning.
Book Club
If you are purchasing book club for your child can please ensure that all orders are ordered and paid for online by the 16th of February 2016.
