We will be having a special Jubliee dinner on Thursday 31st May. The children will be given a special sandwich lunch in a commemorative box. If your child normally has a packed lunch you can book a Jubilee dinner from the school office at the cost of £2.16. The deadline for orders is Friday 25th May 2012.
Next week Year 6 will be taking their SATs. They have been working hard all year and I want to wish them good luck!
The Reading test will be on Monday and the Maths on Wednesday and Thursday. The Writing test is being teacher assessed this year and will take place after half term.
The Book Drive will be on Tuesday 22nd May 2012. If you would like to help please meet in Hall 1 at 2.30pm on the day. Alternatively, you can speak to Miss Grossett.
Year 1 are about to begin designing their own rockets for our space themed work in class. We are hoping to collect as many plastic bottles as possible to use as the structure of our rockets.
For example, water bottles, small and large pop bottles, cordial bottles etc
If you have any plastic bottles we could have, please drop them in at 1JW!
Then in a few weeks we will show you what fantastic things we have done with them!
Thanks for all your help
A dark, hairy creature has been spotted roaming the streets of Ardwick. It is thought that it may possibly be a gorilla on the run from Chester Zoo. If you catch sight of this beast, please let Miss Wilson or Mrs Parkinson know.
As you will have noticed some parents are collecting money to go towards our Jubilee Party on 31st May.
Parents will be organising a tombola and a raffle, so if you have any prizes you would like to donate they will be gratefully received. Do you have any royal memorabilia that could be displayed at the Jubilee Party?
Children will be learning about each of the six decades of the Queen’s reign. If you have any stories or memorabilia from those times we would be keen to hear from you.
Prizes and memorabilia to Mrs Anderson or Mrs Kenny please.
In science we have been learning about the earth, sun and moon . we used a compass to help us find north to tell time by shadows using and I had found a strange little wire on Mrs Bisson Alvarado’s compass and a maginfing glass on the dial and the catch. But Mrs Bisson Alvarado calls it a directional compass. Can any one help me find out what it’s for? it will be a pleasure to find out . THANK YOU
This week we have been reading an amazing book called Beegu. It is about a little alien that crash lands on earth. Beegu the alien wants to find a friend and she finds many when she finds her way to school.
Over the next few weeks in 1JW we will be working hard to write our own Beegu story with a different ending! So watch this space for our work.
ALSO COMING SOON – The Beegu audio book with sentences written and spoken by the children to make our own retelling of the Beegu story!
