Y1 and Y2 homework menus

Apologies to those parents who could not access the menus. We are looking into the issue. In the meantime here is a screenshot of each year group’s menu.

Children should be able to access these menus at any time from the KS1 Extended Study section in the ‘Children’ drop down menu on the front page of the blog if they are logged on with their own Green Top email address.

Please let me know if you have any more problems

KS1/Y2 – A Visit from our local Mayor

This morning, the children in KS1 were granted a meeting with Susan Durant our local Mayor where they found out all about her fantastic work in the community as well as the work of the local food bank. The children asked lots of questions about Susan’s work and experiences and were able to share the fabulous community work they have been getting up to these last two weeks. Susan was super impressed with the children and enjoyed her visit so much, including sharing a tasty lunch in our lunch hall. Thank you so much for visiting, Susan – we look forward to working with you again soon!

KS1 Superheroes Unite – An invitation to our family learning event on Friday 8th September

On Friday 8th September, all KS1 children are invited to come to school dressed as a favourite superhero of their choice. We have been learning about heroes in the local community so they may wish to consider these, such as police officers and nurses, or they may opt for their favourite fictional superhero instead. We will be taking superhero pictures using green screen during the morning so please let your child’s class teacher know if you wish to opt-out of this.

Parents and carers are then invited to join us on the Key Stage 1 playground from 1.30pm where you will be able to enjoy a range of superhero themed activities (trainers a must, capes and masks optional!) before challenging yourself to defeat our ruthless obstacle course. To end the session, there will be juice and biscuits alongside stories and colouring inside your child’s classroom (after all, even superheroes need to rest!).

We do hope you will join us on Friday at 1.30pm and we can’t wait to see you all then.

Class 8 Shaw Fabulous First Week Back Friday

I have enjoyed this week with the children in class 8 so much! It has been such a pleasure to get to know them and we have had some very exciting experiences! Today has been all about team building where we played the hoop game, thought about what we do that makes us a superhero and then Mr Kershaw set us up an assault course, which was lots of fun.

Have a lovely weekend and see you next week!

Also, thanks so much everyone for 100% attendance in class 8 this week…I am so impressed!
