‘A little kindness can go a long way, like a good Samaritan helping someone in need.’
We have been thinking how can we be like Jesus during lent, we reflected on the Good Samaritan. It feels good when we help others.
Conversation starter
Can you think of a time that a friend helped you in the last few days?
What have we been learning this week:
It’s been another busy week! It has been so nice to be able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.
Drawing club:
This week we read Rosie’s walk, ask you child if they can remember the actions and what the words mean?
Rosie’s walk vocabulary:
Creeping: to move quietly and carefully
Oblivious: someone is unaware or doesn't notice something happening around them.
Soaking: making something very wet by putting it in liquid, for a long time.
Immersed: so focused and interested in an activity that you don't think about anything else.
Covered: having something placed over it
Vaulting: jumping over something,
Clatter: to make a loud rattling noise.
Scarper: to leave or run away quickly to avoid being in trouble
PE: Another great session with Mr Murry, we worked as a team and played a game where you threw a ball then ran around the cones until the ball we threw was placed on the cone, each cone we ran past we got a point.
We had a lovely session with Greg from Lytham Hall and Mrs Tierney making our planters, we also helped plant and water own bulbs in our outdoor area.

Home learning books
This week I have given all the children a purple homework book, they are all very excited! Each week I will send home a challenge linked to our topic or to help us practice different skills. This week we have been focusing on our handwriting. Can you ask your child to practice writing ‘a’ in their books.
Extra challenge can you write ‘a’ on the lines? circle your best one :).
In your books there is a sound mat, capital letter sheets and the RWI lower case rhymes to help.

Wednesday 2nd April- School Photo Day
Stay and Play
Thank you for those who have filled in the forms.It has helped me to plan the most suitable days for the majority of parents. Our sessions will be on:
Friday 4th April 9:15 - 10:15
and
Monday 7th April 2:15 - 3:15.
Please fill in the form and select your preferred date. If you can’t make either date any family member is welcome to attend in your place. We are very excited to share with you our learning from our Spring term.
Show and Tell:
Please look below to see which day your child can share their show and tell news. We love to celebrate each child’s achievements in class. So we use show and tell as an opportunity to share things that they are proud of, or to share something that is important to them. Great show and tell examples are: sharing photos, bringing in certificates or medals, a souvenir from a trip out or something that they have made at home.
Important Reminders:
Polite reminder that we are a Nut free school. Please can you bring in healthy snacks please refer to the poster for suitable snacks, we always have fruit avalible too.
PE
Our PE days are Tuesday (outside) and Friday (inside). On these days, children can come to school in their PE uniform and will remain in this for the day. We kindly ask that velcro trainers (white, black or navy) are worn as this allows the children to be indepoendent when taking their shoes off and putting them back on. Polite reminder that for health and safety reasons, no jewellery is to be worn on PE days. We kindly ask that this is removed at home before coming into school.Art T-shirt
Please can you bring in an art T-shirt, if you haven’t already, these help us keep uniforms as clean as possible.Jumpers: please can you check that your child has brought the right jumper or PE jacket home, they can easily get mixed up when bags are being packed, there are a few missing in class, thank you.
if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me at:
