Week 15 in K2

UN Day

Thank you for coming to support the children for UN Day today.  From comments made by the children, they all seemed to love visiting the other classrooms and doing so many different activities, as well as doing the parade and singing for you all. Hopefully they will have also learned something about other countries, too.

We were so proud of all of them and the effort they put into the celebrations in the Main Hall. They had to learn a great deal of words and sang beautifully. We had many parents giving us positive comments and feedback on the parade and singing and we are delighted that you enjoyed it so much.

Performers' Assembly

On Wednesday 26 November, performers from K2 and G1 will entertain the Infant children during our first Performers' Assembly. If your child is one of the performers you will have been contacted by Susanne Khalek and are invited to the RBT at 1:00pm to watch.

Food Festival - Friday 28 November

The Primary School Food Festival takes place on Friday 28 November. The K2 children will have the opportunity to visit the food stalls in the morning and sample the many tasty fares. We will provide biodegradable containers so you do not need to send one from home.

Children will not need any Brain Food on this day but can still bring a snack. As they will have eaten at the Food Festival before snack time, maybe some fruit would be a good idea.

IMPORTANT

We would like all children to come to school in a national costume, national colours or clothes that reflect their national identity.

HELP NEEDED!

A letter was sent home on Wednesday asking for a few volunteers to help at the Food Festival. If you are able to join us, please return the slip and your child's teacher will confirm what time she would like you to arrive in the classroom.

Next Week

Maths

Running parallel to our number work will be a new unit on Data Handling and Probability.
Ways of classifying and sorting objects into given categories and counting the numbers of objects in each category will be explored. Questions will be asked: How can I organise and present the data I have collected? How do I use the information I have found?

Literacy

Our main areas of focus will be:
• Handwriting (numbers, name and ‘one armed robot letters’ r, b, n, h, m, k, p)
• Writing Workshop
• Reading Workshop
• High Frequency Words
• Phonics
• Vowels
• Blending and decoding of CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) e.g. mop, fan, pig and CCVC words e.g. plug, frog, trip.
