Friday 4th October 2024    

Happy Friday! We can't believe we are in October already! 

We have seen lots of reading at home taking place so please make sure this is still being done and recorded. When the children read their book, they can complete a quiz. Each week, the child who reads the most words will receive a ticket which goes in a jar. At the end of each half term, some are picked out to attend a Harry Potter tea party!

With the weather on the decline, can we ask that the children come to school with a coat every day. We tend to go out at break and lunchtimes unless it is heavy rain.

Also, please ensure your child is in the correct uniform every day, with a buttoned shirt and tie.

Science Day - Thursday 10th October

On Thursday next week, we have invited Sublime Science to Down Hall to provide the children from the whole school with a day full of scientific experiments. In light of this, could we please ask that your children come into school wearing clothes that you don't mind getting a little messy.

Should you wish to embrace your little scientist further at home, the link attached will take you to their website, where you can access over 100 free experiment ideas.

Sublime Science activities

Spelling Frame Rule 4 - https://spellingframe.co.uk/

This week we would like the children to focus on: Spelling Rule 4
Your child has their login details glued into their reading diaries. They will be tested at the end of every week on these spellings so PLEASE practise at home.

Times Tables

This week we are looking at the 3 x tables and the children will be tested and taking part in times table activities throughout the week.

Spelling and Times Table Books

The children will bring home a book with their weekly spellings and times table focus stuck in. Please initial these to say you have gone through them with your child. We will continue to practise these in class through testing and handwriting practice but extra practice at home is vital.
