  • HOmework WB: 11.12.23

    Published 11/12/23, by Claire Jones

    Hello,

    Here is your weekly post with general messages and reminders for the week including information about homework. It is a busy week with our two school concerts - please ensure your child has their Christmas accessory for tomorrow if they didn't have it today! Our concert lasts approximately an hour and 15 minutes. We start tomorrow evening at 6pm.

    *The knitted nativity story has come home to a few of you - we will be sharing these out for all children who would like to before Christmas.

    *Your 'special homework' this week is to enjoy some Christmas stories together - it has been a busy one so I hope this is enjoyable and relaxing!

    *Spelling activity this week is linked to week 6 of autumn term 2 words (ie): lie, tie, pie, cried, tried, dried, chief, thief, shield, field.

    *Please listen to your child read at least 3 time a week. New books will come home with you on Monday and Thursday.  Please send in any books to be returned on Mondays and Thursdays as well so that we can re-stock our shelves. 

    *Well done to The Starling Class for being top doodlers this week. I am super proud of you!

    Mrs Jones

  • Homework 13.11.23

    Published 12/11/23, by Claire Jones

    Hello,

    Here is your weekly post with general messages and reminders for the week including information about homework. 

    *Tomorrow is the start of anti-bullying week. Children can wear odd socks all week.

    *There will be a blog on shortly to share our new Y1 maths KIRFS for this half-term - these are the maths number facts in focus for this half-term.

    *Your 'special homework' for this week can be found in your child's homework book that I will send home, as usual, on Tuesday.

    *Spelling activity this week is linked to week 2 of autumn 2 words: (ay and oy) play, way, stay, today, says, boy, toy, enjoy, annoy, royal. Please remember to use Spelling Shed, too! I know the children enjoy learning in this interactive, fun way.

    *Please listen to your child read at least 3 time a week. New books will come home with you on Monday and Thursday.  Please send in any books to be returned on Mondays and Thursdays as well so that we can re-stock our shelves.

    *Try to stay in the green zone on doodle by completing your '5 a day' and your assignments. 

    *Please ensure your forest schools kit including wellies are in school on Mondays and that PE kit is in school on Mondays and Fridays. We are not doing forest schools this half term but we will still seek out opportunities to use the outdoor space when we can - sometimes we have to wrap up for playtimes so please leave it in school for this. 

    See you on Monday!
