Today in our Expedition learning, we have been finding out about rationing through a group quiz and reading task to locate the answers. Did you know that rationing lasted for 9 years after the war ended, so 14 years in total!? At home, why not ask us about the foods that were rationed and the mottos ‘Make Do and Mend’ and ‘Dig for Victory!’.
We have more fabulous home learning to share from Class 10 – well done everybody, our home learning display is looking fantastic!
Here are the spellings we are learning about in school this week to practise at home: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q3ilL4WDMxSVwiSZVjygX7pyhJ14iRuP/view?usp=sharing
Parents and carers of Year 3 are warmly welcome to join us for Family Learning on Thursday 10th October. The session will start at 1:30pm in your child’s classroom (please access school through the school office). To tie in with our second case study, we will be experimenting with digital artwork using iPads. We look forward to seeing you there!
On Friday 27th September, Class 10 will be taking part in an extra PE session with our PE provider, YourPE. Please can you ensure that your child has their PE kit with them on this date. Thank you.
It was lovely to see how excited the children were yesterday with their new reading diaries and a chance to choose their own books from our Accelerated Reader library. Today, we spent some time with our books in the classroom and the children blew me away with their fantastic attitudes and enthusiasm once again. Keep it up everyone!
To clarify expectations for reading at home:
At the front of children’s diaries is a QR code to take them to the Accelerated Reader website where they can login and quiz on the books they have read. This will help to support their comprehension development and is an important part of their reading journey. This sticker also details your child’s book level band which is where they will select their school level books from. This level has been set following your child’s Star Reader assessment. Children are still encouraged to read other books that engage and challenge them, and we welcome these being shared in their reading diaries as well.
Alongside reading at home, children will be given the opportunity to read and quiz during set times at school. Once children have finished a book, please encourage them to swap their book/s for a new choice from the book band boxes in the classroom. Children are responsible for changing their books and this can be done at any point in the week.
Thank you for your ongoing support, Mrs Dutton x

Some photos from our recent PE session. The children have been working on their passing skills in football.
This week we made 3D faces and aimed to apply some of the the techniques we learnt over the last couple of weeks. Loops, folds, curls, fringe, arches and tabs! They all got stuck in straight away and I was extremely impressed with all their efforts this week! Well done guys and thank you for having a go and listening so well!
And I’m back again to share more fabulous home learning and achievements – keep it up boys and girls, you are being amazing! and, I hope mums and dads are enjoying themselves too :). Mrs Dutton x
