KS1 Nativity
We are very excited in KS1 as we have casted our nativity.
Please check children’s bags to know their role in the nativity and if they have words they will be in their bags too!
If you have any costumes you would like to donate from previous years please hand to a member of the KS1 team.

Samuel Pepys and the Great Fire of London show
Haughmond had a very special visitor in today who created the whole scene of the Great fire of London and showed us what happened way back in 1666. All children had a great time and learnt lots of facts! We also taught Mr Pepys about all our new technology and recent events that have happened after the Great fire of London.
Homework
I am very pleased with all homework and how all children are taking care when doing it. We can all see the progress it is helping them to make within all lessons.
Please ensure you are reading with children 3-4 times a week.
Homework in books for tomorrow will be for the next 3 weeks until after half term. There is a maths task and a topic task that will take more time. Please don’t be afraid to be creative. We are very excited to see what all children come up with.
As always any query or question do not hesitate to catch me at the gate or email me.

Arts Week in Haughmond
Haughmond have been very excited this week as we have been artistic creating lots of Mexican art. We learnt about Mexico on Monday and compared it to where we live. We have been listening to a variety of Mexican music too !
On Monday we used clay to create some Mexican themed pots which we will paint today. We also made our own day of the dead inspired masks.
On Tuesday have started our class Mexican flag made out of tissue paper using the skill of collaging. In the afternoon we looked at the traditional Mexican folk art looking at the sun and moon art. We used the skill sketching first to get and outline. Then we practised our watercolour painting skills to carefully paint out pictures.
Today we are looking forward to painting our Mexican clay pots, learning the Mexican hat dance and carrying on with out tissue paper flag.
Below are some of the exciting things we have been up too this week !
Spellings and homework summer half term
We will be using the year 1 and 2 common exception words as spellings this term to really help with our writing. I will attach the common exception words below.
Homework is given out on a Wednesday alongside spellings and will be a mixture of a maths or SPAG task to help consolidate what we have already taught within class.
Wednesdays will be spelling test days for the spellings that were sent home the previous week. Homework folders should be brought back in for a Wednesday ready for the new homework to be put in.
I have loved looking through all your Easter homework and all the fun things you got up to over the half term!
