As you will have seen from the email sent yesterday, Team Okai are going to Pegwell Bay next Tuesday.
We will be taking a packed lunch.. Please use the sign-up sheet on the classroom door to let us know whether your child would like a school packed lunch or if you would prefer to provide your own. Please let us know by Friday morning at the latest so that we can give the kitchen staff plenty of notice.
Please find below the spellings to practice for the week, these spellings will be going out on Monday.
These are common exception words (words you can't sound out phonetically) that we are going over in school, please practice these at home as often as you can.
This week in maths we are practising our number bonds to 10 and 20. We are practising adding numbers together to make 10 and 20 as well as subtracting numbers from 10 and 20.
We're using Hit the Button to test how well we know our number bonds against the clock!

On Monday 18th October Year 2 will be making bug hotels. We'd like you to start collecting materials for the children to use in their constructions.
Today Year 2 looked for microhabitats in the school playground. We found lots of different kinds - grass, moss, leaves, logs, bits of wood and even bits of concrete. We talked about the conditions found in the microhabitats and whether they were dry or damp, cool or warm and dark or light. We also talked about the creatures that might live in each one. We spotted a few minibeasts: several different types of spider, a beetle and a ladybird.
This term the children have been making art inspired by Wassily Kandinsky.
We'd like to invite parents and carers to an Open Art Session this Thursday, 30th September from 2pm -3pm.
During the session you can support the children with making some art and find out a bit more about what they have been learning.
Today your child received spellings to practice for the week in preparation for our quiz next Friday.

Our Artist of the Term is the inspirational, pioneering painter Alma Thomas. This term’s competition is to create your own art piece in the style of her brilliant, colourful work.
You could create a print on a T-shirt. You might like to use bright markers to create a stylish pattern on some trainers, or you may choose to make a mosaic from glass tiles or beads, or maybe you would prefer to create a collage using torn paper or card…it is up to you!
Remember:
Please hand in artwork to the Art room by Wednesday 20th October 2021. Don’t forget to label your creation with your name and class.
There will be a prize for key-stage winners!
I am really excited to see your cool creations!
