Dear Parents,

Happy Friday to you all! We hope that you've had a fabulous week!

With the weather on the decline, can we ask that the children come to school with a coat every day. We tend to go out at break and lunchtimes unless it is heavy rain.

The children have been very busy with all their learning. Do check out our weekly newsletter for photos and a general catch up on what is going on around the school.

This week we have included photos from our very special school trip to the Imperial War Museum.

• 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. Shortly, you will be able to take a Reading Record home for your time to time.
• Spelling words - please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down. Next week we are looking at Spelling Rule 40.
• Times table practise - next week we are looking at 6’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 log in details.

Have a fab weekend,

Mrs Hurley, Miss Harvey & Mr Greenfield
