  • HOMEWORK OF THE WEEK (24.02.25)

    Published 10/02/25, by Rosie Jackson

    Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (24.02.25). For this week, your child has spelling activity (to be completed independently) and a Maths revision activity to refresh their understanding of counting and adding equal groups. 

    Please have a look at your child's reading book for this week and encourage your child to keep revisiting it when they can. For our phonics lessons this spring, we are now using comprehension booklets which your child will take home on each week (the day may change now and again due to our weekly timetable) as a storybook replacement. This is along with a new phonics book, a new challenge tree book and book band book.  I have already set Doodlemaths tasks for this week and lastly, don't forget to keep on using Spelling Shed a few minutes at a time.

    'Show and tell' this week will be on Thursday as this Friday is an INSET day.

    Have a great last week!

    Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (10.02.25). For this week, your child has a word search (to be completed independently) and a Maths revision activity to refresh their understanding of the two times table, which shouldn't take too long. 

    Please have a look at your child's reading book for this week and encourage your child to keep revisiting it when they can. For our phonics lessons this spring, we are now using comprehension booklets which your child will take home on each Friday as a storybook replacement.

     Additionally, as 'Show and Tell' has now had to be moved to Fridays, if there are any completed worksheets/homework tasks that your child would like to share, please could you ask your child to present this on a separate piece of paper in order to have this in school ready for Friday. This is because homework books are still being returned on Tuesdays and so we wouldn't be able to look at any extra pieces of work if they are stuck in homework books. Alternatively, a picture can be sent to the school office which will be forwarded to my email to share with the class.

    Have a great week!

  • MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPpY NEW YEAR!

    Published 20/12/24, by Rosie Jackson

    We've made it! Christmas is in sight. The children have worked extra hard this half-term with all the festivities going on and a visit from Ofsted! They are indeed ready for a visit from Mr Claus. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your ongoing support at home and to the parent/family volunteers that have taken the the time to help us out when needed. 

    Another huge thank you for all the Christmas cards and gifts. I am ever so gratefully for the very generous gift card. I cannot wait to use it to purchase a few things I've had my eye on for the house move next year! Thank you again! 

    Please take a look at the photos of the wonderful things we have done this half-term. 

    Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Please do let me know if the spellings online are slightly different to the ones in your child's homework book.

    Thank you for supporting us for last week's class assembly. The children loved seeing their biggest supporters watching and listening to their learning. Looking forward to the next one after Beaumanor Hall.
