Hello

Mrs Springall and I just wanted to clarify the timings for the KS1 SATs session. The session will take place from 3.30-5pm in Class 3. We look forward to seeing you.

Mrs Hoar

Just a quick reminder to say please make sure all club letters are back by tomorrow morning please (Tuesday 9th).  The lists will be finalised tomorrow and the slip telling you which clubs have been allocated will come home with the newsletter on Thursday.  Thank you!

Well a short week with only two days in school. It was lovely seeing everyone back and looking refreshed, ready for the term ahead. Mrs Allen and I would like to thank all those for the lovely cards and presents that were handed in at the end of last term.

We were busy on the first day back, writing work out for a new display. I have been so impressed with handwriting. I’m sure it won’t be long until I give out some more fountain pen permits.

By now you should have received the new term’s curriculum overview and homework grid. Last term a number of pupils displayed their learning powers by taking responsibility and showing independence in selecting the chosen pieces and logging them in their home school contact books, which was lovely to see. Remember this half term requires only 4 pieces. Children have been reminded that they can make good use of homework club in order to complete these activities.

On Thursday afternoon we took time to observe the pictures of the yeast experiment that we carried out on the last week of term and discussed the results. We shall of course be starting a new topic next week.

On Friday we were straight back in with our weekly mental arithmetic quizzes. These shall be happening every Friday morning. After, we had a lovely day making our Christingles, which you will no doubt have seen on the website. Hopefully they arrived home in one piece. We then spent time putting our writing skills to the test by generating a set of detailed instructions to accompany our practical task. It was lovely to see all the finished Christingles at our Collective Worship with Revd Ginni.

I may even see some of you fairly soon as I’m heading to church for the Christingle service. I better get going don’t want to be late.

See you all on Monday !

Mrs Stewart

Reminders

• Full PE kit as we shall be taking part in Tag Rugby this half term up on the field on Monday afternoons. I have suggested that the children take their kits home after this session to avoid overly dirty kits. They shall need to have them back in for Wednesday pm as we shall be doing indoor gym.

• Please try to ensure you have your kit and that it is labelled.

• Home school contact books

• Spellings and homework shall begin again on Tuesday 9^th.

• Clubs letters to be returned before deadline. I shall be taking Sam Learning club which gives a great opportunity for the children to work together. During this club we also look at strategies on how to answer SATs questions and look over some topics that need further work. A healthy snack and drink are also provided to help fuel the brain.

• Those attending the Royal Albert Hall please can I have the t-shirt slips back in by Tuesday at the very latest.

Happy New Year and welcome back to another busy term in school! 

Today all the children in school have been learning about and making Christingles - hopefully they arrived home in one piece!  A reminder that this Sunday, 7th January, Rev Ginni is leading a Christingle Service in church and she would love some children and families to attend and take part, bringing along the Christingle they made today.  The service starts at 9.15am and you can park on the school playground. 

There are some photographs in the gallery of the children making their Christingles today.

Welcome back everyone and happy New Year!  We hope you have all had a restful and happy break.  Just a short blog this week to say how well the children have settled back into class. Today, each child has been very busy making their own Christingle; make sure you test us on what each part means, when we come home tonight!  All children have also been practising changing their books themselves today so hopefully all should come home with a new book.  Please note that if there is no comment in the reading record to say your child has read, they will be unable to collect a new book from school so please make sure you write in, when you have read at home J

Notices.

Due to a busy few days, we will start our normal class reading rota on Monday.  Children can also start their weekly visits to the library too.

Please make sure that children have all PE kit items within school every day.  Unfortunately we are running very low on spare kits so it may mean your child cannot take part in the lesson if they do not have a full PE kit in school.

If you do have any old boxes/ junk modelling things at home e.g. plastic bottles, yoghurt pots, bottle lids, washing up bottles, cereal boxes and cardboard tubes (not toilet rolls), we would love to have them in for our junk modelling area!  The more the better!

Thank and enjoy your weekend,

Miss Ingle, Mrs Holmes and Mrs Sabri
