The Bachelors’ Programme 2011
Bachelors End of Term 3
Dear Everyone
It’s the end of another busy term. Our school production Rumpelstiltskin was certainly the major focus for all our learning this term. Thank you to everyone who helped out. We certainly couldn’t have done it without your support. It was a real team effort – children, teachers and parents. I know the children are still talking about the experiences and one of their favourite activities is to dance to the dances done by the older children – I think “Money, Money, Money” is their favourite, and they copy the “If I were rich man” dance very well too.
While some Rumpelstiltskin activities are still being finished off we have moved onto another learning area – light. This will include a more in depth study of things such as shadows, torches, batteries, circuits, solar power, rainbows, colours and anything else that the children find that interests them about light.
If you looked at the blog last week you will have noticed some photos showing us looking at shadows. Space 10 English group have also been hard at work changing Fairy Tales into shadow puppet plays. They have had such a lot of fun doing it and the results are quite amazing for Year 2 children – there are Youtube videos of them on the blog for you to look at. Unfortunately my editing skills aren’t up to editing out the mistakes.
The blog also shows the children looking at how a torch works – batteries, bulbs and circuits. This practical science has really excited the children too.
Activities for the holidays : Check out the blog for some links to science activities/experiments related to solar power that the children can have fun with.

Remember you can access Basic Facts practice sheets, Spelling Level Lists and Bachelor newsletters on the blog too.
All the best for an enjoyable 2 weeks with your children.
