Dear Parents,
Happy Friday. The children are now in full swing and have been working really hard this week. It was great seeing out the week celebrating National Roald Dahl Dat as all of the children dressed up as characters. Thanks to Mr Greenfield for taking part, coming in as the farmer from Fantastic Mr Fox.
Sweyne Visit.
Our Year 6 children were lucky enough to spend some time this morning at Sweyne; taking part in various activities that explore chemistry. We were pleased to hear that our children were all well behaved and represented our school well. The teachers at Sweyne were so amazed at how well how children conducted themselves. They have invited us back in to take part in further lessons
Thank you.
We would like to thank all of our Parents/ Carers for making sure that full school uniform is worn. Children were reminded that shoes and not trainers should be worn this week, as in line with our uniform policy.
We would also like to thank you for supporting the children to make sure that homework is completed. Without your support, the children are not able to make the progress that we would like this year.
Year 5/6 Homework Tasks.
- 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.
- Times table practise - next week we are looking at 5’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 practise 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.
