We have come to the end of another term. The past few weeks have gone so quickly and the children have worked so hard. I am so proud of all of them. I think they will all be ready for a well deserved rest!
It has been great to be back at school properly and to do some proper face-to-face teaching and learning.
This week has been shorter but we have packed lots in.
The children have continued to work on their tennis skills with Henry. We will be carrying on with tennis for a few weeks after the holidays to complete the unit.
The children have also had the opportunity to take part in a virtual music workshop this week. They have enjoyed doing some call and respond voice work and creating some fruit inspired music using percussion instruments. It was a very noisy session but the class had great fun!
Today we have had a creative day! We have enjoyed making Easter themed creations and spending time with our friends. The children all looked 'Happy' in their own clothing.
The children all have 2 books to read over the holidays. Please encourage your child to read throughout the holidays. Reading the same book for a second or third time will help them to improve their fluency and overall understanding. After the Easter holidays we will be going back to changing books on a Monday and allowing the children to have them over the weekend. This will give them more opportunities to read at home.
Thank you for all your support this term especially with home learning. The work that children have done at home has really benefited them, you have all done a great job.
Wishing you all a happy and safe Easter holiday.
Mrs Moore
ART EXHIBITION INFORMATION
At Rufford Park we have signed up to a very exciting online art exhibition this year called the Young Artists’ Summer Show which is run by the Royal Academy of Arts. We would like as many of you as possible to get involved and submit your work!
The Young Artists' Summer Show love seeing your personality, imagination, thoughts and feelings shine through your artwork. They believe art is about expressing yourself in a way that comes naturally to you. There are no rules, your submission can be created using any art materials you like. You could paint, sketch or even sculpt!
If you're thinking about creating something for the exhibition but aren't sure how to get started, why not set aside some time this half-term to get your creative juices flowing? All great art starts somewhere!
