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.

   POETRY COMPETITION

This week, we celebrated National Poetry day by sharing the brilliant poem that Angela Marie James wrote about her school library, called The Room of Magic. 

I am inviting you to write your own poem about our lovely school library. 

This is open to everyone and can be done on paper or on Google and shared with me.

The closing date is MONDAY 20TH OCTOBER and winners will be announced in the celebration assembly that week. 

Everyone will receive 5 Dojos for entering and all work entered will be displayed in the library.

There will be 4 winners as follows: 

Winner from EYFS

Winner from Year 1/2

Winner from 3/4

• Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is the optimum and should be continuing into Years 5 and 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 41 - Words ending in –able, -ible, -ably, -ibly
• Times table practise - next week we are looking at 7s. 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
