Weekly News 19th September

Lost uniform

The recent warm weather has seen many children taking their sweatshirts/cardigans off in and around school. Please could you check that all items of your child’s uniform is labelled and that they have not brought home uniform belonging to another child, particularly sweatshirts.

Letters home

Thank you for the great response to next year’s residential visit to Arthog for Years 5 and 6.  If you have not yet done so, please could you return the letter (and deposit if your child is going) as we need to confirm numbers with Arthog.  There are also still a few permission slips outstanding for Year 6 children for Bikeability.

Stottesdon

Letters regarding the Year 3 and 4 visit to Stottesdon, in the Spring term, will be sent out in a couple of weeks time.

After-school Clubs

Thank you to parents who have helped out at different clubs this week; we are extremely grateful for your support.

School Calendar

We are planning on selling a school calendar this year and letters will be sent home early next week regarding permission for your child to be featured in the calendar, information on cost, etc.

Thank you all for your support. Have a nice weekend!

A busy day in Class One

This morning children have been outside working and playing together in our Early Years yard. The children had access to lots of mathematics themed activities and resources. Many children enjoyed using chalks to write numbers and they also enjoyed finding numbers hidden in the sand area. Some children enjoyed playing maths puzzles and games. We also had some writing numbers using felt pens and pencils. The Year 1 children had a good time working in a group with Mrs Conde. They worked hard to use a number track and identified numbers on their track to match the number of coins dropped into a tin. Mrs Conde then wanted them to find the number on their track which was one more or one less than a given number.

Letters and Sounds was an opportunity for us to learn about the letter ‘g’. The children enjoyed having our Governor Mrs Wendy Horan in to see them working together and using many Letters and Sounds resources. The children from Year 1 worked in a group to use words containing the letter ‘g’ to form sentences. The children wrote their sentences independently and used an illustration too.

This afternoon we are looking forward to Physical Development in the hall. The children will have the opportunity to use mats and to bounce/hop/take big steps across them. The children will also recall how to move around the hall in different ways without bumping into anyone.

The Letters and Sounds for this week are: g, o,c,k.

 

Class 5 spellings to be tested 19.09.14

Class 5 have ‘chosen’ their spelling words this week, after making a bank of vocabulary whilst reading WarHorse.  These are words linked to WWI which they will be able to make use of in different writing activities over the next couple of weeks.  As well as learning to spell these words, I would like children to learn the meaning of these words to support our discussions in class. We have a wide range of topic books in Class 5 so please do not hesitate to speak to me, if your child needs any support with this week’s homework.

Class 5 News 12.09.14

Literacy

We’ve continued reading WarHorse, linked to our WWI topic, looking at the different types of sentences used and using dictionaries to define more sophisticated vocabulary. 

Towards the end of the week, we wrote diary entries in role as different characters from the text and almost ended the week in a class debate on should members of our royal family fight on the battle front; this wasn’t planned and developed purely from a Year 6 discussion on how army officers can be sent to the front without ever having seen combat. I was extremely impressed with Year 6s’ maturity and enthusiasm regarding this aspect of the text!

Next week we will continue with diary entries and also write letters home from the trenches.

Numeracy

We have continued with and extended our work on place value, including ordering and comparing decimals and using column additon to add money amounts. Next week we will look at column addition and different methods of subtraction in various contexts including money. 

Keep up the hard work Class 5!

Weekly News 12th September

We’ve had another busy week in school and tried to make the most of the fine weather with outdoor activities.  The older children in the School have been a great help to adults in helping the new entrants settle in, especially during lunchtime in the Hall and during breaktimes.

Parents Evenings

You may have noticed the dates for Parents Evenings on the calendar, at which you will be able to meet with your child’s/children’s class teacher (s) to discuss their progress this term. The booking system will ‘open’ on the website at the end of the month.

Letters Home

Letters sent home this week include: Bikeability and Secondary Transfer (Year 6) and Arthog (Years 5/6)

Term dates

Please could we remind you to look at our School website for term dates, particularly P D days, as these sometimes differ to those shown on Shropshire Council’s website.

Craft Club

Please could we ask for all children to be collected from Craft Club at 4:30 pm at the side Hall door only. Should you need to collect your child earlier, please speak to Mrs Neal at the School Office before going to the Hall.

Parking

If the School car park is full, please could people use the car park at Bicton Village Hall as parking on Bicton Lane can prevent residents from entering and exiting their properties.

Many thanks as always for your support.

Mrs Natalie Johnson
