Weekly News 09.12.16

It’s been a really busy week with lots going on but the children seem to be coping really well in school, with the build up to the end of term and the different events next week! Thanks for all your support in preparing children for the different events so far this month.

Choir – Bicton Church Sunday 11th December

Just a reminder that the choir children singing at Bicton Church on Sunday evening are expected to wear their school uniform.

Christmas Raffle

Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and/or provided prizes for the FOBs Christmas raffle. Thank you also to Marina and Sharon for giving up their time to join us in assembly this morning to draw the raffle prizes with the children.

A Special Visitor

We were joined by a very special visitor this afternoon and I think it is fair to say he was pretty much mobbed when he arrived on the playground! Thank you to FOBs for buying chocolates for everyone in school today. We will upload some of the photos from Santa’s visit, over the weekend.

IMPORTANT CHANGES NEXT WEEK

Please remember to check the website next week for clubs, as several clubs have been cancelled due to the evening performances on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Also, there is no Joseph rehearsal on Monday and no clubs next Friday on the last day of term.

Evening Performances

We will send a letter out on Monday confirming the times that children need to arrive at school next week but just to help your arrangements next week, children will need to be dropped off at school for both the Joseph performances and the evening Nativity at 5:15 where staff will assist them in getting changed.

Have a lovely weekend.

Class 4 party

Dear Parents,

On Wednesday 14th December Class 4 will be having their Christmas party.

Please can children bring party clothes to change into that day.

They don’t need to bring anything else, as Class 4 staff will provide the food and drink for the party.

Many thanks,

Mrs S Foster

Class 2 weekly update

English

We have carried on with our letter writing this week, reading ‘Dear Father Christmas’ and ‘The Jolly Christmas Postman’ to influence our writing. The children have also written a character description of Father Christmas using adjectives (year 1) and adjectives, verbs and adverbs (year 2).

Maths

This week the children have learned how to tell the time. Year 1 have learned o’clock and half past times and year 2 have focussed on o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past times.

Geography

We have explored the different animals that live in the Arctic this week and how they camouflage to keep them safe. We then looked at maps and where the animals live in the Arctic Circle.

Letters and Sounds

Year 1 – New graphemes ‘ue’, ‘wh’ and ‘ph’.

Year 2 – Adding suffixes to words ending in ‘y’ – change the ‘y’ to an ‘i’ and add ‘es’.

Spellings

The children have not had new spellings this week as next Friday we will be very busy with the Nativity and end of term activities.

Have a great weekend!

Dear Parents and Carers,

The children have not been set spellings this week as next week is very busy with other things going on.

I have told the children that as their homework (this week and over Christmas) I would like them to work really hard on learning their times tables.

Year 3 children need to know their 2, 5, 10, 3, 4, and 8 times tables by the end of Year 3.

Year 4 children need to know all times tables up to 12 x 12 by the end of Year 4.

I have told children not to overwhelm themselves but to focus on one times table a week to really try to get to grips with.

Thank you for your support with this,

Miss Barratt

Class 3 Weekly Update

Class 3 have been working hard this week:

English – We have continued our work on narrative poetry this week and have linked it to our RE lessons about the Christmas Story. We have looked at how Christmas Carols are poems and analysed them to see which parts of the Christmas Story different ones talk about. We have also planned and written our own Christmas Poems – retelling all or part of the Christmas story ourselves.

Maths – We have continued our work on multiplication this week and have applied our knowledge of multiplying by 10 and 100 to other contexts. We have also moved onto learning the grid method for multiplication which we will go over again after Christmas.

PE – Children have continued to practise key skills in PE this week.

We have been working very hard this week on final rehearsals ready for Joseph. We can’t wait for you to see it!

Have a lovely weekend!

Maths – Time

Class 1 have been finding out about time. We read the story the Hungry Caterpillar, have been singing Days of the Week song, playing What’s the time Mr Wolf, counting how many things we can do in one minute e.g. write our name, take our shoes off and put them back on, how many star jumps etc.

Just a reminder that the choir are singing at the co-op tomorrow morning at 10:30am. I have given out some more permission letters today for children who needed them which will need to be handed to me first thing tomorrow morning.

I have told the children that they are allowed to bring some festive head-ware if they have some – tinsel, headbands, hats.

Thank you,

Choir Events

The choir have several events coming up over the next couple of weeks. Please can the permission letter be returned on Monday, if not already returned. Parents are welcome to come and watch the choir perform at the Co-op on Tuesday morning from 10:30.

Condover Forms

The medical/dietary forms for the Year 3/4 visit to Condover need to be returned as soon as possible please, as we need to provide Condover Hall with the information.

Punctuality

Following this week’s visit from the Shropshire Council Education Welfare Officer, please could we remind all parents/guardians that children must be in school by 8:55. Persistent late arrival may result in parents/guardians being contacted by the EWO.

Christmas Jumper/Festive Outfit Day

On Friday 9th December, all children (and staff!) are invited to come to School wearing a Christmas jumper or festive outfit. This is not a fundraising event simply an end-of-term treat for everyone’s hard work this term. We may even have a special visitor during the day!

FOBs Film Night

A huge thank you to the FOBs ladies for arranging another fantastic film night. Thank you also to the dads who helped set up the equipment in the afternoon.

Joseph Tickets

Tickets for the KS2 Joseph performances are now on general sale, priced at £3 for adults and £2 for children. If you are unable to get into School, please send money in with your child in a sealed envelope marked clearly with your name, the number of tickets required and for which evening.

Have a great weekend.
