The Oak Tree
What a fabulous half-term we have had! The children continue to grow in confidence and ability.
This week, we will finish our theme on 'plant growth' by focusing on trees. We will use Julia Donaldson's book, The Oak Tree, to support our learning. We will also spend some time on the school field, observing our wonderful oak trees up close.
On Wednesday, Barry will join us to share a story from the Bible.
Have a fantastic half-term break! Please try to do a bit of reading with your child during the time off.

Plant Growth
Thank you for the photos last week. The children had a wonderful time sharing them and discussing how they have grown.
This week, we will explore plant growth and enjoy the stories of Jack and the Beanstalk and The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle.
We will investigate how plants grow and spend some time in the allotment planting seeds.
Additionally, the Year 5 students will join us for a few mornings this week to assist with reading, writing, and maths.

Human Growth
This week, we will focus on human growth. We will learn about the main stages of life, how we grow, and what we need for a healthy lifestyle. We will explore the parts of the body and discuss the variety of food groups necessary for our bodies to function well.
We will also be talking about how we have grown. It would be wonderful if your child could share a photo of themselves as a baby. The photos can be printed out and brought into class or emailed to class1@hanleyswanps.org.uk. (The photos will be deleted immediately after the 'show and tell').
Forest School starts on Thursday. Please remember to send old clothes in if they are not already in school.

Living or not living?
Welcome back!
I hope you all had a lovely Easter and the children had a well-deserved rest.
We are jumping straight back into the swing of things this week by finding out about their Easter holiday and starting our topic on 'growth'.
We will begin by exploring the difference between things that are alive and things that are not alive.
PE will start on Wednesday, so please do not forget their PE kit.
Please remember to return the reading books (in the plastic wallets) and the library book on Monday. Many thanks.
