Back into to swing of things!

After a jam packed start to the new term the children have quickly settled back into the routine of the school day.

This week the children will really start to find out lots of facts about dinosaurs to help them to write information texts. In Science the children will be exploring the concept of living, non living and never been alive. This is likely to cause some interesting discussions.

In maths the children will be identifying and investigating the properties of a range of 2D and 3D shapes. It would be helpful if you could continue to identify and discuss these shapes within the home and outdoors.

We are happy to announce that we have arranged a trip to Liverpool World Museum on Tuesday 13th May. Please look out for the permission letter that will be sent out this week. Please send back A.S.A.P to allow your child to take part in this exciting visit, to further their investigative skills in relation to dinosaurs.

We are really looking forward to Golden Assembly on Friday. The children will be told on Monday of a new exciting prize that will make each winner really proud of their achievements. Let's see if all the children can 'Try, Persevere and Succeed' this week at Tyldesley Primary School.

Enjoy the week

Walking with Dinosaurs!

What an exciting week we have ahead as we start the summer term in Key Stage 1. On Tuesday we start the exciting new topic of Walking with Dinosaurs with a discovering dinosaur day. This will include workshops on archaeology skills to help the children discover more about dinosaurs.

On Wednesday the whole school will be celebrating St Georges Day. Throughout the day the children will be learning about English heritage and the legend of St George and the dragon.  Don't forget to send in some food for our street party and  to wear red and white clothing.

Following on from discussions at parents' evening we have linked some useful websites which you can access at home to support your child.
