This week we have been learning about Doctors. How they help us, what they do, where they work etc. It has led to lots of interesting conversations and some wonderful imaginative play.
Last week we posted a letter explaining the changes to the way we will be changing reading books in school. We have put together some slides to offer further support to parents about the types of books your child will bring home.
Please remember to read the letter sent to parents and sign the consent form for your child to bring home their reading books. From now on we request that all children return their reading books every Friday.
If you have any further questions or concerns please speak to your child’s class teacher.
Please click on the link below to access the information slides:
Mavis has been showing off her super reading today by reading one of her favourite books from home to the rest of the class. Mavis read with absolutely beautiful expression and the children were laughing at the funny parts of the story. This week we have been learning about rhyming words and the children enjoyed spotting the rhyming words in the story.
Well done Mavis! I am super proud of you.
We have had an amazing first week back at school in Class 5. We have thoroughly enjoyed hooking ourselves into our new Expedition: Ready, Steady, Grow – How can I be the healthiest version of me? During this Expedition we will be studying Art, Science and DT. This week we have done lots of crafts to decorate our classroom and immerse ourselves into our new expedition. The children in Class 5 certainly love craft activities! We have also had a practice at using shrinking plastic to make a name keyring. We will be using shrinking plastic to make our final product for this expedition and the children loved seeing how it worked. We can’t wait to take our keyring home to show you! Maybe you could put them on your book bag or backpack?
To end our fabulous week we had a visit from Mrs Raynor who did a fun dance/exercise workshop to show us the effects exercise has on our mood and our body. It was so much fun. Even Miss Schon enjoyed joining in!
It has been great to be able to meet with parents this week to discuss children’s progress during their SLCs too! What a busy week it has been.
Here our some photographs to show you what we have been up to!
Clubs are capped and once a club is full, it will be taken from the form. This means, if you apply for a club, your child automatically has a place. You will NOT receive separate confirmation.
Should you wish to access our sunset club, you can book by contacting Mrs Fitzpatrick: [email protected] . Please include the following details: name, teacher, any allergies/dietary requirements, days required and a Contact number. Sunset club runs from 4pm to 5:30pm daily at £5 per day which should be paid in advance via ParentPay.
If you require sunset club and you haven’t managed to book on a 3pm – 4pm club, please contact school to make arrangements – we will ensure you have a club so please don’t worry! *** if you have more than one child this form MUST be completed separately for each child***
If you no longer need or want a club, please let us know as we may have a waiting list for the place. If you don’t attend for two weeks, you may lose the place.
You can’t collect from clubs between 3pm and 4pm.
Thanks
Due to the Christmas fayre, our usual Wednesday clubs will be cancelled. However, as we know that many of you use this as childcare, a club will be available for your child should you require it.
Please complete this form so we know who will need a place this Wednesday 18th December.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our production by sending in a costume for your child to wear. We will be having a dress rehearsal in school on Monday 9th December in the morning. If you are unable to provide a costume please let you class teacher know so we can make arrangements for your child.
We have been practising our nativity performance this week and today the children blew us away! Many more children knew their lines and are now delivering them confidently. Please continue practising lines with children at home so they are prepared for our performances next week. It can be very overwhelming performing to an audience so the more practice the better! Narrators can read from their paper if they cannot remember their words. Where possible we would like all children to have a go at remembering their words without the need to read them as it can be difficult to hold the microphone and the words at the same time.
We hope you are excited for our performances next week. If you do not have your tickets yet make sure you speak to your child’s class teacher so this can be arranged for you.
Thank you,
KS1 Team
We are working extremely hard in Year 5, researching, planning and preparing our Lecture slides and scripts! We cannot wait to entertain our adults on the evening of Wednesday 4th December!
