We all still had fun, despite the rain. The winning team was France – but check out where your team came.
Another THANK YOU for sending children in fantastic coloured clothes to match their country team too.

We launched our Being Healthy themed week today with a whole school assembly. We talked about physical and mental health. We also did some mindfulness (belly breathing).
We’re looking forward to a happy and healthy week next week.
This week’s spellings for Year 1 are words that children are frequently making mistakes with in their independent writing. Year 2 are focusing on the all and al spelling patterns.
Use the look, say, cover, write, check method the first week, then choose a writing style to write them in the final week of term!

As part of the Leeds City of Culture, there is a local story trail event taking place. The flyers are below and pdfs to download.
Why not take part with friends or family in this fun event?
Our Construction (Design Technology) topic is going down a treat. We are learning how to make freestanding structures using cardboard. We made cylinders which we then joined together to make a super structure. In 1,2B, a super structure with 6 cylinders could hold 20 books. When we added 29 cylinders, it could hold a box full of books and even a whole child. It was so exciting!
Help at home by looking at the 3D shapes that make some of the objects in your home. For example, are your chair legs cylinders or cuboids?
Year 2 have been looking at fiction and non-fiction books, finding similarities and differences.
We found that a title, introduction, sub-headings, real photos or diagrams, a contents page and an index page were all common in non-fiction (information) books.
Help at home by comparing or pointing our whether you are reading a fiction or non-fiction book at story time.
This week’s spellings for Year 1 return to spellings that children are frequently making mistakes with in their writing. Year 2 are learning a new spelling rule : drop the y for an i
Use the look, say, cover, write, check method the first week, then choose a writing style to write them in the second week.

We have be learning about freestanding objects and how they are made stable and strong.
We found that shapes with a wide, flat base and a low height were the most stable. We also found that a cylinder was the strongest shape.
Help at home by having a go at these tests and looking and what shapes are used to make strong, stable objects in your home.
Here is the flyer and application form.
This week’s spellings for Year 1 are all about adding a suffixes (endings) to words. The start with the root word then add -er and -est. Year 2 are learning to spell words ending with el or al.
