Pegasus - Reflect and Review

Dear Parents and Carers, 

We have had another great week in Pegasus class! 

As writers, we have been writing our own diary entries based on the perspective of a toy that Traction Man is saving. In Maths, we have been using dienes to compare numbers up to 100, including finding missing numbers, rearranging number sentences in a variety of ways. 

In Science, we have been conducting experiments to learn about how absorbent and waterproof different materials are. To investigate waterproofness, we created our own homes using wooden blocks, and a range of fabrics as a roof to see which fabric would be the most waterproof, using pipettes to squirt water onto the fabric. 

Next week:

Next week in Maths, we will be recognising 2-D and 3-D shapes, as well as counting the sides and vertices of 2-D shapes. In English, we will be exploring the different characters in Traction Man creating our own character descriptions. 

Home-learning
Maths homework is due on Monday. We will mark our homework on that day. Spellings are also due on that day for those that have finished Read, Write, Inc. We will not be testing children on their spellings. It is just for children to practise their spellings at home. 

Coming Up:

• 12th December - Christmas Service at St Peter and Paul's (2-6 only) Children in Pegasus can come dressed as angels or stars for the Christmas Service if they would like to. Please don’t buy anything for it specifically, each phase will be a different part of the nativity, but think low-key! Be excited for the staff’s important dressing up role too!
• 12th December - HSA Christmas Bazaar after school
• 15th December - Reading Passports Returned to School
• 19th December - End of Term 1pm finish time

Spirit Week

We are excited to announce that our Christmas Spirit Week is coming up from 15th – 19th December. Throughout the week, students are invited to join in the festive fun by dressing up according to each day’s theme and helping us celebrate the holiday season. Participation is completely optional. If your child chooses not to take part in the themed dress-up days, they should come to school in their regular uniform as usual. We look forward to a joyful and spirited week together!

Monday – All Aboard the Polar Express! Start the week by jumping on the festive train! Come dressed for a magical ride: PJs, conductor vibes, or any look that screams “hot chocolate at 3 AM.”

Tuesday – Sparkle and shine. Time to sleigh the runway! Wear your most shimmering, glimmering, twinkling outfits.

Wednesday – Head-to-Toe Christmas. Bring out your merry headgear and Christmas shoes and socks. If your toes are dashing and your head is dancing… you’re on the right track.

Thursday – Christmas Jumper Day 2.0 You snow the drill: pull out those festive jumpers for round two! The bolder, the brighter, the better.

Friday – Freestyle Christmas It’s time to express your elf! Anything Christmasy goes: reindeer glam, gingerbread chic, full Santa realness...
