Class 1
Over the last few months, Year 1 have been using their observations skills in Science to learn more about birds. We have been watching the Live Camera of the Pereguin Falcons at Salisbury Cathedral. We have been lucky enough to watch them from just after they hatched, and have seen them grow - and we have been excitedly watching to see when they will take their first flights!
We recently wrote letters to help Salisbury Cathedral name the new falcons, and we enjoyed a lovely walk down to the Post Office to send our letters and diagrams.
This week, we received a letter back - along with a very lovely gift for each child. Additionally, the cathedral have shared a video for the children and some photos and videos of the birds for us to watch long after they fly the nest.
Thank you so much, Salisbury Cathedral, for your lovely response.

Children have been set Maths homework, focusing on Doubling.
Please find your child's MyMaths log in, stuck in the front of their homework diary. They also camehome with a letter with a little more information.
Children have also been set spellings to practice. These will be sent home weekly on a Thursday and all children will be tested on a Tuesday, even if they do not practice at home. This is to ensure that we can accurately assess their progress in phonics, writing and with high frequency / common exception / tricky words.
Children will be tested on their spellings and have been put into groups, which are in their homework diary. The test is done as an independent piece of work:
- The word is read.
- The word is put into a sentence.
- The word is read again.
- The children write the word.
As always, please continue to read with your children.
Thanks,
Mrs Glover
