FS2 Weekly Round Up

This week FS2 have been busy continuing their learning on Castles, Knights and Dragons. In Maths we have been making crowns that represent numbers 6,7 and 8. In Literacy we have drawn story maps and acted out the story 'The Knight Who Wouldn't Fight'. The children did a great job acting out the roles of the knight, toll, griffin and dragon. In choosing time we have been drawing knights, building castles and making shields. We have been working hard with our phonics and enjoying guessing what the teachers have In their box. Keep practising at home! This week we have also enjoyed a 'reading for pleasure' themed parent breakfast. You can still complete feedback using the QR code that has been emailed out to you.

Next week we look forward to our new story 'Zog' where we will dive into building our who doing what sentences and enjoy drawing club.

🌟 Attention Parents and Carers! 🌟

High Hazels Academy is excited to continue our partnership with The Sheffield Parent Carer Forum to enhance the school experience for children with additional needs.

Join us for our parents and carers meeting on Wednesday, 4th February at 9am at High Hazels Academy. This is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and connect with other parents.

We’ll discuss:

• Why some children struggle with social skills and what we can do to help

• How we can help our children understand their own difficulties/needs and begin to express these

Plus, we'll tackle other school-related topics and answer any questions you might have. Drinks and snacks will be available!

Together, let’s make a difference! Will you join us?

Exciting Science Alert!

In Year 4, we’re diving into the world of temperatures and having a blast measuring them with thermometers! It’s amazing to see how different liquids measure up in various environments.

FS2 Meet The Teacher Breakfast - Reading for Pleasure

Thank you to all the parents who made it to our FS2 Reading for Pleasure Breakfast this morning, it is always lovely to have parents in the classrooms engaging with their children's learning. We hope you enjoyed our healthy offering of overnight oats and took one of the recipe cards home so you can make it yourself. It so important children have a good breakfast to start their day and oats are a great food to set children up for a great day of learning.

This week Y4 dove into a fun-filled interview session, sharing our favorite traditional tales!

Year 6 have started their new writing unit this morning. Taking the 'Little People, Big Dreams' books as our focus, we explored the features and structures of different biographies. Students also had the opportunity to read from a selection of these books before they begin drafting their own biography.

Traction Man - Bring in a doll

This week Y1 children are going to begin reading traction man for their writing unit. For part of the unit, we are going to be role playing with dolls. If you have an action man or barbie type doll can your child please bring this into school. Please bring the dolls in before Friday and they will be returned home next week, after the unit.

Thank you,

Y1 Team

🌟 Today in Y1, we kicked off our new adventure with the book *Traction Man*! 📚 We had a blast exploring its vibrant pictures, lively speech, and fun comic-style writing. To bring the story to life, we crafted our own puppets of the characters and dove into some role-playing of our favorite events! 🎭✨ What a fantastic day of creativity and imagination! 🥳 #TractionMan #StorytimeFun #Y1Adventures
