It was lovely to see so many of you at the fete on Saturday. It was a great day, and thankfully the weather was very good to us. Unfortunately, the forecast for this week is rain, rain and more rain! Please ensure the children have waterproofs in school so that we can get out when we can.

Over the next couple of weeks our activities include:

• Writing group stories following the format of the story ‘Sally’s Limpet’ – teacher as scribe
• Problem solving activity – Sally is allowed an ice-cream from the kiosk. There are 4 flavours to choose from, she is allowed 2 scoops. I wonder how many different combinations she could have?
• Sort living and non-living things we find at the sea-side
• Capacity – comparing empty with full containers. Predicting how many cupfuls will fill different sized containers
• Choosing appropriate ingredients to make jelly rock pools
• Discuss the differences between Llantrisant and Penarth (after our trip), by looking at and sorting pictures taken of the two places
• Cutting out fish to make a marine mobile
• Create an ‘art attack’ of an underwater scene.

Hopefully, we will get a Sports day and with a bit of luck the sun will make an appearance for our trip next Tuesday.

As always, if anyone has any concerns please come in and see us.

Many thanks for your support
