The children across Key Stage 1 have been working really hard on improving their writing skills. They have been trying to write descriptively about characters and writing information sentences about nocturnal animals and space. This week we are starting a new initiative called "Super Sentences". Each day your child will write a sentence- aiming to make it the best possible, by the use of punctuation, word choice, use of connectives etc.

As we approach the end of our exciting "Blast Off!" topic the children will be designing and making a rocket, which will be blasted off before we break up for half term. Please send in a clean pop bottle so your child can take part in these exciting lessons.

On Friday afternoon we will  join together with all schools in Wigan for the sing up challenge. At 2pm the whole school will be singing a song about Wigan's history. The children have been busy rehearsing the song and it already sounds very impressive.

Don't forget to send in your parents' evening request if you haven't already done so. Appointment times will be sent out on Thursday.

Another busy week ahead.

Key Stage 1 Team.
