Mrs Newland's Challenge of the Week - 01.06.20

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you all had a lovely half term. 

Thank you to those who sent their pictures of the toilet roll tube challenge efforts. They were brilliant! You can see pictures of them all if you click on this link:

This week, I would like to create a display/piece of artwork in school to demonstrate what lock down has meant to our community. Perhaps you have learnt a new skill? Perhaps you have discovered somewhere new that is now your favourite place? Perhaps you have been particularly artistic. Perhaps there is one particular thing you have enjoyed doing. 

You could send me a photograph, a picture, a poem, a piece of writing, a collage... The possibilities are endless! Please send me your idea via the message section and/or the Portfolio section of ClassDojo. I will then print them out to use in school. I would really like every child to be represented so get those ideas coming! 

Have a great week everyone.

This week as we are learning about Space we are going to look at some alien words.

Click on the links below to have a look.  These are not real words which is why they are called alien words.  By now we should know lots of sounds to be able to read them!

Have Fun!

Home Learning: Week Beginning 20th April 2020

Topic: The Rainbow Fish

Have you read the book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister? Perhaps you have it at home? If you do, find somewhere exciting to read it again with an adult or older sibling. If not, use the link below to hear the story being read (you could use the link and follow the story in the book if you have it!).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9mryuEKkKc

Then, you can use the story to do your learning over the course of the week. Below are some ideas for things you could do,  but feel free to come up with your ideas as well!

It has been a busy but very successful start to the school year and your child's learning journey. We have been having a lot of fun learning our new phonemes and the songs that go with them.

Just some little reminders as the month of October progresses. 

• P.E. days are Thursday and Friday - children to come dressed in their P.E. kit. As the weather changes please ensure that your child is dressed for the elements.
• If your child is not availing of school dinners please ensure they have a healthy lunch box including sandwiches, fruit and vegetables etc.
• If you would like to take some additional work home for home learning these are available in the cloakroom. These are not compulsory.
• We do ask that you try to read each night to and with your child. Remember, it doesn't have to be their school book.
• Please be aware that we don't get a chance to read with each child everyday. Therefore we may not change books every day. However, everyday has some sort of literacy activity incorporated. It may not be recorded in your child's reading record but evidenced elsewhere.
• Can I please remind you to sign up to Tapestry if you haven't done so already. Please add photos of activities that your child participates in or any achievements. Only I can see these not other parents. Remember this all goes towards evaluating your child's progress.
• The dojo's are also up and running. Again please sign up.

If you have questions or queries please don't hesitate to ask at a convenient time or make an appointment to see me.
