Ahoy from the pirates of Copthill! Another week of pirates has come to an end and we seem to be getting busier and more ‘Piratey’ as it goes on.
In Forest School the children had to build and construct their own pirate ships in groups. We learnt the different names of parts on a pirate ship which is going to help us when we are captains of real pirate ships by half term!
We have had a massive number bond breakthrough this week in maths as the children pick up the knowledge they need to help them do basic maths sums. Please could you encourage them to work on counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s both forwards and backwards at home.
In art we have been drawing treasure maps and making ourselves look like real life pirates by using a picture of our face and painting the body of a pirate onto it. Some of us really could be accepted onto a pirate ship without a second glance!
As Autumn goes on, we are well aware that the weather is changing and seems to have done so rather rapidly! Please make sure your child has got their wellies, their waterproof coat and their fleece with them at all times.
Also please make sure the children have a named water bottle in school as we don’t have access to cups apart from at lunchtime I know there’s lots to remember and quite often they get left in school but as long as they are named we are able to fill them with fresh water.
