All set for a brand new year at Fairlands! Thank you to all the staff who have been working hard over the summer to get everything ready for the children to return to school today. We are all excited about the year ahead!

Helping Hands!
Wow, what an exciting start to the school year! You've already done something so important—your "Helping Hands" activity! Let's talk about what that means and why it's so special.
Our Bookmarks in Elm Class
We have really enjoyed our first week in Year 2. We have took part in lots of fun, learning activites. We made bookmarks using our Year 1 and 2 common exception words. We picked the words which we find tricky, and will use our bookmark to help us with reading and spelling. We made them colourful and decorated the bookmarks. We have had the best week learning, completing PE, writing about our holiday, using resources at break time and using paint for self potraits!
Magnet fun
We had our introduction lesson to our half term's Science topic 'Forces and Magnets' today.
We discussed what we already know. This included there being no gravity in space and not all metal being magnetic.
Summer holiday help
The summer holidays will finally be here at 215pm tomorrow and hopefully the sun will make an extended appearance too!
Firework fun in year 3!
Year 3 have spent the last half term reading The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philp Pullman. We have carried out reading and writing tasks based on the text in our English and Guided Reading lessons and today spent the day celebrating all things fireworks!
'This Is Me!' Day
Yesterday we celebrated, 'This is Me!' Day. We talked about how we are all different but all very special and we all have different skills. Some of our teachers showed off their talents; Mrs Huskinson played her guitar, Ms Chappell showed off her rollerskating skills and Mrs Glindon showed us how to tap dance! The children all had brilliant ideas about things they are good at and showed off dancing, gymnastics, singing and cartwheeling skills. They also told us other things they are good at, including 'Helping Mummy with the washing' and 'Running really fast!'. After this, the children made pictures of their skills to show to their Reception class teachers on Thursday.
SEND SUPPORT
Angels attending coffee session
It's the final coffee session of this school year - how has that happened? We have representatives from Angels joining us and I am sure they will come armed with a wealth of information about summer holiday support.
