Hi Kittens,

I hope you had a fantastic Easter Holiday! 

This week, our learning behaviour is 'enjoy your learning' and our value is 'Service'

Our words of the week are: Reception 'tall' and 'short' Year 1: 'equator' and 'compass'. 

Reminders:

Tuesday: Wear PE kit. Please make sure all earrings are removed for PE 

Thursday: Homework and reading books due in.

Friday: Forest School Today - please wear Forest School clothes

Spelling tests

We are going to change the way we test spellings on a Friday. We will now send the same list of words home to practise, however when testing them in school we will be asking the children to write three dictated sentences that will include some of the words the children have been practising along with some of their common exception words. This is to ensure the children can apply the spellings they have learnt and also ensure the are using all the correct features of a sentence e.g. full stops and capital letters. The children have all been made aware of this change and are excited for a new challenge. 

General reminders:

Children need to read their little wandle books at least 3 times a week. This will help them with their segmenting and blending. Children need to read 5 times to get a tick on the reading giants class sheet and work towards their bronze/silver/gold certificate. 

Please ensure you are bringing bookbags, water bottles and coats to school.

Please make sure children are wearing correct uniform; including socks and it is labelled.

Have a fab week!

Mrs Atkins
