Adders Class 23.2.26
Date: 20th Feb 2026 @ 2:30pm
Welcome to the first week of the second half term. I hope you all had a lovely half term with your families.
This week's timetable can be accessed HERE.
You will need to wear your PE kit on WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY this week. Please make sure that ALL uniform is named (especially PE jumpers).
On WEDNESDAY, I am out of class so Mrs Lawrance will teach you in the morning and Mrs North will teach you in the afternoon.
On FRIDAY, it is shared learning where you can share this term's learning with your grown ups. They are invited in from 2.45pm unless you have siblings (from 2.30pm).
DON'T FORGET: WORLD BOOK DAY is on THURSDAY 5th March and there is going to be a competition where you can turn a wooden spoon into your favourite book character. Details are on this week's newsletter. We will also be relaunching our library on this day and, providing your grown-ups have consented on Arbor, you will be able to borrow our new books!
Remember, you MUST bring a warm waterproof coat to school EVERY DAY as you will be expected to go out at playtimes even if it is raining or cold.
The learning behaviour this week is 'Try New Things' and our value this half term is 'Truthfulness'. Our words this week are: 'evolve' and 'inherit'.
REMEMBER, YOUR HALF TERM RETRIEVAL HOMEWORK IS DUE ON FRIDAY 27th FEBRUARY. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR POSTERS.
This week's homework is:
- Maths - Decimals.
