Puffins Class Parent Newsletter Summer 2 2025
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to all our Puffins and their families. I hope you all had a lovely half term and had time to relax and venture outside when the weather was good.
With last half term being short we finished our last week with a day on Science, Computing and Geography which the children enjoyed and meant we could finish those units of work. Computing was a favourite which included a minibeast hunt and then plotting their findings into a block graph on the ‘Create a graph’ website. The children then had fun exploring pie charts and line graphs. Forest school sessions have also been a success as the sun has also shone each Friday luckily. Hopefully the weather will continue to improve also as we get further into the summer term.
