Hi all,

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend, I think it was very much needed! ☺️

Some children may have different books this week, so your child may come home saying they are in a new reading group.

Homework 📝 (Set on Tuesday and to be returned on Friday)

Reading 📚- Children should bring their reading record and book to school everyday. Pages to be read will be written in your child’s green record daily.

Spelling✏️- The children have copied their new spelling words into their spelling jotter.

There will be no maths/numeracy task for the next few weeks, as a letter will be put on Google Classroom on Friday with information about pupil talks.

P.E. is on Wednesday afternoons, please remember to come dressed for it.

Mrs Donnelly is hoping to host a virtual assembly on Friday for the school too, how exciting!

If you need anything then please don’t hesitate to get in contact – L.Waller@mgfl.net

🍎I hope everyone is well rested after their long weekend, I think everyone needed at least one ling lie, I know I did.🍏

This week our sounds are h and r, you can find the jolly phonics short songs clips on youtube, I am sure the children would love to perform them for you.

🎯Please remember to complete the Phonics homework book each week – this should be completed to r by this Friday.

📒 Most groups will have reading this week on Wednesday, please can bookbags and diaries come to school daily.

SEESAW – A couple of families have not yet accessed SEESAW, the feedback has been so positive about seeing your child’s learning journey so far, if you still need assistance please email me k.hinton@mgfl.net and I can email you the invite code for your child.

I have also set a short task on SEESAW for you to try if you wish (instructions and task are in the activities section), it discusses our RED ZONE 😡 and requires some discussion and using the app to note responses.  It is meant to be quite engaging and quick and useful for as all to play around with the app incase of  a time where more online activities will be required. 💻

💂🏻‍♀️ 👷🏻PEOPLE WHO HELP US is our topic and it is usually a really fun one as we can have visitors and great discussions around the topic.

This week I would like children to try and find a “person who helps us” and get a photo of themselves with that person (e.g. a family member who works in a shop (in uniform), lollipop lady, childminder etc).  Basically everyone helps someone and it would be nice to have photos of children with a variety of helpers.

Obviously, keep within the COVID guidelines but this is why I suggested a family member or standing beside a vehicle or building associated with people who help us.  Be creative 🙂 Also if you have relevant photos in your albums already these would be great to use too.

These can be emailed to me at k.hinton@mgfl.net.👩🏻‍🚒 👮🏻

NUMBER – We are working hard to recognise number words and matching them to numerals.  We are counting to and from 10 and adding numbers to make 10.

GENTLE REMINDER – We are not permitted to change shoes or clothes so come dressed for activities on Thursday.  WATER ONLY in water bottles unless this is just for lunch. WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL, THIS INCLUDES NUTELLA.

Many thanks

Karen Hinton

Hi P1 parents,

We have a short couple of weeks as it is the September weekend this Friday/Monday so I hope you all have a lovely and restful time.

This week not everyone will have reading sent home but everyone will have Key words to practise – If you have misplaced these then you can download a set here – STAGE 1 AND 2 SIGHT WORDS

Pupils look at the shape of the word and memorise it, this is initial stages of reading and they will not be able to sound out all the words.

We are also learning numbers 1-10 – recognising numerals, amounts and words while counting out numbers and showing numbers on fingers etc.  Any reinforcement of this at home would be such a great support for them. Some examples of reinforcing number are below.

e.g. “How many are there here?”

“Can you show me 7 fingers? How about making 7 in another way?”

“Count out 6 grapes, are there 6 there? add one “how many are there now?”

Most of you have had a look on SeeSaw and I hope you have enjoyed seeing our learning journeys.

Thanks

Mrs Hinton

Hi all,

Reminder: School is closed this Friday (18^th) and Monday 21st. Pupils return to school on Tuesday 22^nd September.

Spelling – Thanks so much to everyone who completed their spelling homework on time and took care over neatness and presentation. Children will copy down their new list on Monday but due to the shorter week, can completed homework  be handed in on Thursday of this week please.

Maths/Numeracy – Last week’s home learning sheet  revising  subtraction with exchange is due in on Wednesday. A new homework sheet will be sent home on Wednesday.

Reading – We have finished reading  Kensuke’s Kingdom but still have tasks to complete on this book in class.

Children have all been given a new reading book which I want to hear in class. Thus, no reading homework has been issued.

PE – Tuesdays

Circle of Friends – This is a programme which supports children’s emotional and social well-being and takes a closer look at friendships through activities and discussion. We will start this on Monday.

That is all for now,

Miss Brunt

Hi all,

🔬 We won’t be having science next Monday with Mrs Cumming but we will still be doing science with me in the afternoon, so there aren’t any timetable changes.

🏃🏼‍♂️Our P.E block  is on Wednesday afternoons, please ensure your child is dressed for P.E outside and brings a water bottle with water only. Thank you.

🧠 We will be having 10 minute brain breaks in the afternoons as they are longer than usual (2.5 hours). This is just an active break between our lessons in the afternoon to allow the children to move and feel ready for the rest of the afternoon. This could vary from a little jog outside, a GoNoodle video or some Yoga! Children can bring an extra snack in for this time as they may get hungry by this time, or they can leave something behind from their packed lunch.

🌟 We have introduced the ‘Zones of Regulation’ in our classroom and this is a great way to help myself and the class discuss our emotions and coping strategies. There are four zones, which you can find below, and there is no negative zone. For example, if you feel like you are in the red zone then this is not a bad thing as we can all feel multiple emotions throughout the day. The most important thing is we begin to think of strategies to help us self- regulate and bring ourselves closer to the green zone.

Homework 📝 (Set on Monday and to be returned on Friday)

Reading📚 – Pages to be read will be written into your child’s green reading record daily. Please sign beside the date to evidence it has been completed. Thank you!

Spelling✏️- A new list will be copied down on Monday morning.

Maths/Numeracy 🔢 – We have been learning how to read and write 6 digit numbers this week, so the worksheet on Google Classroom is a revision of this. If you have any issues with logging into Google Classroom, then please email me so I can fix this. I will hand out paper copies of the homework to those who cannot access GC. 

School Holidays – Friday 18th September and Monday 21st September. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend,

Miss Lauren Waller
