Weekly update 17.10.17

Harvest Celebration

We hope to see you at our Harvest Celebration this Friday in the school hall at 9:25. The children are looking forward to sharing their end-of-half-term performances with you and celebrating their achievements this term. Please can we ask that you use the Village Hall, once the school car park is full, and refrain from parking outside the school on Bicton Lane as this can cause the road to become blocked. Thank you in advance for your support with this.

This time we will require all visitors – parents, friends and family members – to sign in on arrival and signing-in sheets will be at the main entrance for you to use on arrival and then sign out on your departure. This is part of our safeguarding procedures.

Harvest Donations

Thank you for the donations we have received so far and there is still time for you to bring a donation into school if you would like to do so.

Car Park Safety

Please can we remind adults to adhere to the speed limit when driving into and out of the school car park, particularly when dropping off at Breakfast Club. The speed limit is there for everyone’s safety. Thank you.

Church Inspection

We are looking forward to welcoming an inspector into school this Thursday, to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of our school as a church school.

Clubs

Please remember to check the website for clubs running next half-term, just in case there are any changes.

Letters home this week

Harvest Celebration in Class 1

This half term the children have been learning about Harvest Festival. They have looked at Harvests around the world as well as in the UK. To end our unit the children will be baking bread on Thursday. We have read the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’ and all the children have agreed that they will be very helpful not like the animals in the story.

As part of our Celebration the children would like to bring in some food from home and set up a Harvest Festival display in the class room (this will then be added to the whole school Harvest collection on Friday).

Some of the work we have done is displayed in outside the classroom in our Reflection area.

Class 4 so far this week…

We have continued to explore Charlotte’s Web and have all read/listened to Chapters 10 and 11. Yesterday, we looked at newspaper front pages (‘First News’ is great for allowing children to explore the features of a newspaper and keep up to date with the news!). The children found out about features of a newspaper front page, such as the logo, the lead, the masthead and advertising. The children had to label a front page with the features and discuss their meaning and purpose. Today, we explored more features of a newspaper – including the use of quotes, photos and headlines. The children ‘hot-seated’ the character of Mr Zuckerman and interviewed him after having found the web with ‘Some Pig’ woven into it. They then had to think of a suitable headline for a newspaper article.

In Maths, we have been using a combination of the column addition and subtraction methods and switching between the two. Today, we looked at how to add/subtract money using place value and number facts. The children realised that the change they would receive from paying with £99.99 is 1p less than paying with £100.00.

We have spent time learning more about the Fruits of the Spirit and how these relate to our school values. We also completed our watercolour paintings of the barn scene from Charlotte’s Web. These are going to look beautiful on display.

Secondary School Applications

Shropshire Council have asked us to remind Year 6 parents of the need to submit your application by 31st October. Please see further detail below:

A couple of the secondary schools are already very close to their admission number with 1st preferences so it is to the parent/carer’s advantage to ensure their applications are submitted on time.

https://oneonline.shropshire.gov.uk/CitizenPortal_LIVE/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2FCitizenPortal_LIVE%2F

Late applications are considered last, once all the on time applicants have been allocated their school places. This means that the pupil is at risk of not being allocated a place at their catchment/nearest or preferred schools.

Thank you

What to expect, when in the Early Years? A parents’ guide

The purpose of this booklet is to help you as a parent/carer find out more about how your child is learning and developing during their first five years, in relation to the EYFS. Children develop more rapidly during the first five years of their lives than at any other time. This booklet has been written to help you as a parent know what to expect during these vitally important years by focusing on the seven areas of learning and development which are covered in the EYFS.
