Hello,

What a wet few days we have had so far! Let’s hope it dries up a bit next week before the winter comes.

Monday: Don’t forget it is INSET day so school is closed to pupils.

If you haven’t spotted yet, tickets for our 3 Christmas concert performances are now available. Year 1 will have a special part in this as the younger classes take a lead on this event. More information to follow.

Spellings this week: Week 3 spellings – the digraphs ‘oa’, ‘ow’ and ‘oe’. Our words are: goal, coach, own, snow, grow, toe, goes, go, no, so. Please complete week 3 worksheet of your spelling in the homework pack and login to doodlespell to play some games with those words. The new words will be available from Monday.

Reading: Please ask your child to read and re-read the books from school. Re-reading is a key element to your child making the pathways to learn the sounds and words. Next week, as usual, we will swap books on Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child has their books to return in their hand so that we can quickly receive those in the morning. Thank you for reminding your child to carry their water bottles to help us avoid spillages and water damage.

Maths: We have slipped right down to the bottom on the doodle league! Please try to use doodle maths regularly to stay in the green zone and complete the assignments set. New assignments will be set throughout the half term to cover learning we have done in class. Thanks for your support with this.

Topic homework: You will have your topic homework menu sheet in the printed pack that came home at parent’s evening but you can also find an online version on our ‘key information’ blog. Please choose one activity to do with your child for this half term and bring it in for the showcase lesson in December.

See you on Tuesday,

Mrs Jones
