Dear Parents/Caregivers,
Happy Friday!
As the weather is about to turn very cold next week, could you please ensure that your children come to school with a coat every day. We tend to go out at break and lunchtimes unless it is heavy rain. Also, please ensure your child is in the correct uniform every day, with a buttoned shirt and tie - These MUST be named. We have a lot of lost property left over that can be checked through after school.

Please also ensure that your child is regularly:
- Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is the optimum and should be continuing into Year 6. Please also encourage your child to read by themselves and then discuss the text afterwards, sharing opinions, their favourite part or questioning what happened so as to ensure that your child is understanding the text as well as reading it. All children have a Reading Record to take home.
- Spelling words - please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down. This week we are up to Spelling rule 45 - Words with the /i:/ sound spelt ei after c
- Times table practise - next week we are looking at 7’s. Please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down.
- TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading diaries for login details or message your class teacher using Dojo.
Have a fab weekend!
Mrs Hurley, Mr Greenfield and Miss Harvey
