Hi everyone,
After last week we have now completed all of our learning trios for this term. Thank you to all parents who attended or spoke to me on the phone. It was fantastic to have your input and so lovely to see you all again. I have also had some of the children mention how glad they were they got to come with their parent/carer and how proud they were of themselves. It’s clear to see your involvement in their learning means a lot to them.
Requests:
We are hoping to explore and round off our Ancient Egypt topic by doing some artwork and model building. If you have any junk at home (particularly cardboard) we would very much appreciate if you could hand it in to school.
Reminders:
- All orders for tea towels being made by parent council must be in by Wednesday 17th of November.
- This Friday p6 have arranged a dress down for Children in Need. Donations of £1 are appreciated. They have specified no pjs, football strips or onesies please.
- P6 are also arranging a ‘Guess how many sweeties are in the tub?” fundraiser. This will be 50p per guess and will be available to take part in from Monday through to Friday at break time.
Homework
Spelling
Spelling words have been glued into the children’s jotters. Please remember to practise the words AND write the sentences unless this has been discussed with me previously.
Numeracy/Maths
I have stuck a numeracy/maths grid the the back of your child’s homework jotter. The expectation is that only one brick (activity) be completed per week. Can you colour the brick after your child has completed the activity AND is confident in doing so independently.
A Sumdog challenge on multplication has also been set and will be available until next Friday. The class have also been entered into the current Sumdog contest. Get earning coins!
