We were very grateful that this week was still sunny but much cooler than last week's heatwave!

The highlight of the week was finally having our Sports Day. The children had a fantastic time taking part in all of their races and showed great determination, teamwork and sportsmanship. A huge thank you to everyone who came along to cheer us on and support us, it made the day even more special!

Our English lessons were based on the story Lucy and Tom at the Seaside. We began the week by retelling the story and loved describing all the exciting things the characters got up to at the beach. By the end of the week, the children were confidently answering comprehension questions in full sentences and showing a great understanding of the text.

In Maths, we focused on sequencing events in chronological order, using language such as before, after, first, next, yesterday, today, tomorrow, morning, afternoon and evening. The children enjoyed discussing and ordering different events throughout the day.

History took us back to the seaside of the past as we discovered how the price of ice creams has changed over time. We were especially fascinated by the Victorian penny-lick! The children could hardly believe that the glass dishes were used over and over again without being washed, and they were very relieved that we don't have to share our ice creams in the same way today!

To finish the week, the children enjoyed their transition afternoon with Mrs Mann. They came back full of smiles and excitement for Year 2. There are definitely a few butterflies too, but we know they are more than ready for their next adventure, even though we don't want to see them go!

Another wonderful week of learning, laughter and making special memories together. 🌞🏅🍦📚✨
