Tattershall Castle

We had a fantastic trip to Tattershall castle to support our history topic. We enjoyed medieval dancing, brass rubbing and a tour of the castle, right up to the battlements! 

We had a great morning sampling brioche, pain au chocolat and crossiants. We then made crepes and French flags. We learnt the French colours and how to ask for our food in French too! 

We really enjoyed joining a live science lesson with thousands of children across the country. We learnt about different materials used to make tractors and how tractors and space are connected!

A few reminders:

P.E. days can vary so please ensure that your child has their named PE kit with them at all times.

Reading books. Please read with your child as often as possible, a minimum of 3 times a week. It really does make a huge impact on the progress they make in school.

Seesaw-We will be sending out passwords for everyone shortly and using this to set weekly phonics links-please look out for these in the next week or so.

Jumpers and coats-please ensure these are clearly named.

Water- The children can now bring their own named bottle into school each day containing water. We also have cups available in the classroom.  

Fruit-In year 1 and 2 we continue to be provided with free fruit each day. There is not always a choice so if your child wishes to bring some of their own they are welcome to do so.

Please contact us with any concerns or messages about your child on our class email address:
