Hello Frogs,

Welcome to the final big term of this academic year - how time flies!

We have lots of learning to still to do. In Literacy, we are looking at poetry and will be writing a poem about, 'how not to be a good friend.' This links nicely to our RSE work too. We will also continue using, 'Talk 4 Writing' to help us with our writing skills and will be using the story, 'Dogger' to look at the toolkit - 'action' when writing. Following this, we will then look at how to write an explanation text through the use of recipes to create a 'good friend.'

In maths, we will continue to follow the Whiterose Maths Scheme and we will continue completing, 'Flashback 4's' daily. This is a really useful activity we do because it helps us remember the maths skills we have previously learned. This term, our maths lessons we will be looking at fractions and telling the time.

Our homework focus continues to be focused on reading; reading fluency, and reading for pleasure. Please spend some time looking at books with your grown-ups, read with them, and discuss what you have read. Do tell me any books you have read, it is always nice to recommend books to friends! 

The whole school is excited about the King's Coronation on 6th May 2023! We will be celebrating this historic event with a whole-school party outside - and Mrs. Barry has a delicious surprise for you all. The 'Friends of St. George's' team has organised a, 'Design a Crown' competition - keep a look out for further details on our Facebook page and on the newsletter.

Remember to wear black shoes and bring some black plimsolls to wear inside (we like to go outside whatever the weather!).

As always, if you have any questions or would like any help, please find me at one of the school gates (morning and afternoon) or, alternatively ring the school office to make an appointment. 

Keep smiling,

Miss Collins :)
