Dear Parents/ Carers
We hope that you have had a lovely week. The weather certainly has shown us that winter is here. Please make sure that coats, gloves, hats etc are labelled with your children's names to avoid them being lost. Any property that remains around school, is located in The Learning Hub (Old Opal Class). Please collect the items as soon as you realise they are missing to avoid them being thrown away.
Thank you to all parents who came to join us for Parent/ Teacher consultations, it was lovely having the opportunity to catch up and share how hard all of your children are working.

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 containing the letter string - ough
- Times table practise - next week we are continuing with multiplying 12’s. Please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down.
