Week 3 
This week saw the children settled into routines and able to concentrate for longer spells! 

The children are taking part in an Art lesson on drawing taken by Liz Hooker. 

We do mini handwriting lessons each day as part of Phonics. As the sound of the day is introduced, so do the children practice forming that letter. On Fridays we take a longer time on handwriting. Each week a couple of 'Neat Writers' are chosen. Their reward is to spend time on the app--Letter School. 

Ethan and Cohen are our first two 'Neat Writers'. 

During last week we celebrated 'Ash Wednesday'. Each week leading up to Easter one of the Religious Education lessons of the week will be spent on Lent. The children are learning that; 'Lent is the season to get ready for Easter'.

Part of Lent is alms giving. I am encouraging the children to bring along a coin--10, 20 etc to put in the mission box. This can be at any time. 

Do remember its 'Family Fun Night' this coming Thursday Feb 26th. 

Regards,

Mary
