Whole School Final Topic/Transition: Journeys

• A huge thank you to all of you who were able to join in our Learning Share last week. The children were so very proud to share their hard work with you. It was great to finally welcome you into our classrooms too. Thank you. Please speak to your child’s teacher if you were unable to come, to see the best way of sharing your child’s books. There is also a part of our child and parent voice which accompanies the reports, for you to complete that your teacher can also share with you.
• All classes need to wear their PE kits on Monday for our Sport’s Day.
• We will start to collect all home reading books in from the children this week with the aim of having all books returned by Friday. Provision of Pearson books online will continue over the summer holidays. We will check the provision of books for each child before the start of the holidays.
• Your child’s report will be sent home on Wednesday of this week so please look out for it. Again a real chance for us all to celebrate the immense efforts your children have put into their learning and friendships this year.
• On Tuesday, members of our Governing Body will be visiting our classes and school to look at the learning and joining us with our celebrations of such a fantastic year, despite all the challenges it has brought.

• Remember to click the link to plans and resources below if your child is needing to self-isolate but is well. Please email the class email address if you find yourself in this position and are unsure.
• We will continue to aim to get outside as much as possible so they really need a waterproof coat and sun hat each day. Please remember to name all clothing as the changes in the temperature during the day means that the children are sometimes leaving jumpers and hats around the school grounds and they can sometimes take a while to find they way back to class.

Year 1 Learning Week 6, Term 6– Link to plans and resources if you are needing to isolate or quarantine.

We will send the questions as an email to your new teachers and the children in Year 2 to answer for us. We will also have some questions to answer from the Reception children who will be Year1 next year!

Maths

Capacity
Learning objectives:
To describe the volume in a container by using the vocabulary full, nearly full, empty or nearly empty. 
To use non-standard measurements to measure the capacity of a container
To use ‘more’, ‘less’ and ‘equal to’ to compare capacity and/or volume as well as the symbols <, > and =.

Key difficulty points:
Children don’t need to be able to explain this difference but for adults to ensure they are using correct terminology:
Capacity is the amount of space inside a container (the amount it can hold)
Volume is the amount of space that is being taken up within the container (e.g. it could be half full)
