Dear Santorini pupils
What a fantastic start to the new school term.
We have started reading the book ‘The Frog and the stranger’ in our English lessons, a story about understanding our feelings and building new friendships. A book which will help us to improve further our writing and grammar knowledge, to form longer sentences with verbs in the past tense including conjunctions.
In Maths we started learning counting up to 100.
In RE we wrote our school prayers and we have started exploring the life of important Saints.
In Art we have tried a range of drawing materials and we have discussed about the ones we prefer to use and why.
In History we will be looking at the life of famous people who changed the world.
For next week we would like you to create a poster about one of our 3 Black History heroes for our class display. Rosa Parks, Mary Seacole or Martin Luther King. If you wish you can create a poster for the three of them together!
Make sure you start reading your books that you choose every week with consistency and discuss with your family and friends about the stories you read.
Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday.
Please remember to bring in your water bottles, next week looks quite warm as well.
On Monday we will be visiting our local parish St. Constantine and St Helen to receive blessings for our classroom from Father George.
Have a nice weekend
Mrs Tsiama
This week has been a very busy week with SATs and the children have all worked very hard.
There will be no Home Learning this week. All children deserve a break, please enjoy the nice weather (remember to stay safe in the sun.)
Many thanks for all of your support and understanding during SATs week. Parents will be advised of their child’s results in their end of year report.
Many thank Miss Hopper and Mrs Tsiama
This week the children have shown great resilience in the face of some changes to their regular timetables.
This week in English, we have had a real focus on grammar and understanding grammatical terms. Each day, we focused on a new aspect of punctuation or grammar. We completed some examples of how to use it and then answered some questions from past SATs papers.
In maths we have worked on statistics for the first time this year and the children have grasped this new concept well. We have also been finishing our units in; PSHE, History, RE, Music and Computing.

Hello all
This week has been a very productive week with lots of focus on grammar in our English lessons. In maths we have begun the tricky topic of time and many of the children have taken a keen interest in not only answering questions during their lessons but also telling the time throughout the day.
Thank you to all those parents who attended the SATs meeting on Thursday, I understand that some parents had work commitments or were unable to make it for other reasons. The office will be sending out the PowerPoint that was used in the meeting and if there are any more questions regarding this please do come and see your child’s class teacher.
This week for home learning we have given your child a grammar worksheet to complete that covers conjunctions. Your children know what these are and we have worked on making our sentences longer by connecting different clauses. Please complete these sheets and return them by Wednesday. You may stick them into your purple home learning books if you wish or just return the sheet as it is. You still have ed shed spellings (which are focused on our suffix -ed spellings) and maths shed; please ensure you complete these.
We hope you enjoy this beautiful sunny bank holiday weekend.

Dear Crete and Santorini,
For this week your home learning is the English Grammar test that we gave you.
Read the questions carefully and answer them all on your booklet.
Crete class remember to practise your lines for your upcoming assembly next Friday.
Have a great weekend.

This week once again has been a busy week of learning.
In English we have begun learning about instructional writing through our new book ‘How to wash a woolly mammoth.’
We have all worked extremely hard in maths on our learning about fractions with lots of new skills and vocabulary and you should all be very hard of your achievements.
In History, you have all taken a keen interest in our current topic. Leading on from our trip to the Tower of London, we have been learning about the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and how this led to King William being named William the Conqueror.
Our art project on clay and how to use this correctly is going well and you are all acquiring new skills week by week. I look forward to seeing your end of topic sculptures.
Your home learning for this week is below.
Many thanks
Miss Hopper and Mrs Tsiama
Hi Santorini and Crete
May has arrived and it is going to be a very exciting month for us.
Today we did plant our seeds as part of our science lesson and in the coming weeks we will be able to observe these seeds becoming plants.
In English we have completed our stories inspired by the ”The Lost Homework” book and next week we will start a new exciting book.
In Maths we are becoming fraction champions and today we did a lot of practice in recognizing and explaining non-unit fractions.
In our history lessons we learned about the coronation ceremony and we used drama to present our learning about the events that took place during the coronation day of King Charles III in 2022.
See below for your home learning task:
Have a lovely weekend .
