Spelling Patterns

The spelling patterns we are learning in Class 2 this week are:

Year 1: The sound ‘ng’ spelt n before g.  E.g. hang, long

The sound ‘nk’ spelt n before k.  E.g. think, honk

Year 2: The sound /j/ spelt with ‘-dge’ and ‘-ge’ at the end of words.  E.g. badge, change

 

Children in Need – Total raised

We raised the grand total of £270 for Children In Need, from the sale of cakes and non-uniform donations. Thank you everyone!

Year 4 Surfers

Year 4 Waves

Words with the ‘ow’ phoneme e.g. down, gown, frown, clown, town, howl, growl, owl, now, how.

Are you sitting comfortably…

Class 5 have been busy writing their own mini-tales, based on the main character ‘Jub’ in ‘The Lost Happy Endings.’ On Friday morning, they had the pleasure of reading their tales to children in Class 2. Thank you Class 2 for being such a captive audience!

 

Children in Need Cake Sale

Thank you again for all the donations of cakes and biscuits to sell on Children In Need day. As you can see from the photo gallery, they were much appreciated!

Children in Need

A huge thank you to everyone for the donations towards Children In Need and for the cakes and biscuits to sell at breaktime and after school. Next week we will let you know  how much we raised and upload some of the many photos that were taken of the children enjoying the cake sale!

Cross country

Well done again to all of the children who took part in the latest cross country event at The Corbet. The fourth and final heat will take place on Wednesday 20th November at 3:45 pm.

Christmas cards

Thank you for the Christmas card orders. The order has been processed and we should hopefully receive the delivery in a couple of weeks.

Christmas events

We are aware that lots of questions are being asked on social media about our Christmas events. The dates that have been confirmed so far are in the diary dates on the school website  and are as follows:

Friday 6th December: Christmas Fair and disco at school (afternoon)

Tuesday 17th December: School carol servcie at Bicton Church (evening)

Wednesday 18th December: Christmas Celebration Assembly at school (morning)

We are aware that, for some unknown reason, the emails did not reach parents last week so the post about the Celebration Assembly is copied again below

SAVE THE DATE: Christmas Celebration Assembly – morning of Wednesday 18th December 

This year, we are combining our Christmas performance with an end-of-term Celebration Assembly. Each class will perform part of The Christmas Story and we will also be presenting shields/cups for reading, writing, maths, PE and citizenship. We will provide more uptodate timings once the children have started rehearsing their class performance.

Have a lovely weekend.

Final Forest School Session

The children have enjoyed their last Forest School session this term.

NEW! Weekly News 08.11.19

I am aware that my Weekly News did not email out to parents for some reason on Saturday so I have reissued  it – apologies if you receive it twice!

Spooky disco – thank you! (Updated)

Thank you to everyone who came along to the disco and to FOBS and other adults who gave up their time to organise the event and help with the tidying up. It was lovely to see so many people there!

We raised a staggering £497! Added to the income from the sale of sweets, and the costumes for the spooky disco, FOBS have raised £707 this term alone which is greatly appreciated and will be put towards buying classroom resources and learning materials.

Children in Need dressing up day – Friday 15th November

On Friday 15th we would like all children (and staff!) to come to school and nursery wearing either pyjamas or something spotty – the choice is yours! We ask that children pay £1 each and all of the money raised will be donated to Children in Need.

We would also welcome donations of cakes and biscuits to sell at breaktime – please do not send anything containing nuts and we thank you in advance for your support.

Christmas card orders

Please can all Christmas card orders be returned by Monday 11th, as we need to place the order by Wednesday 13th so that the cards are back in plenty of time.

Arthog residential

If you have not yet returned your deposit for your child to go to Arthog next June, please can you do so by Wednesday as we need to give Arthog our final numbers at the end of the week.

SAVE THE DATE: Christmas Celebration Assembly – morning of Wednesday 18th December 

This year, we are combining our Christmas performance with an end-of-term Celebration Assembly. Each class will perform part of The Christmas Story and we will also be presenting shields/cups for reading, writing, maths, PE and citizenship. The event has not yet been added to the calendar but it will start at 9:25 and we will provide an estimated end time once the children have started rehearsing their class performance.

Website password

The password has now been removed from the website, making it much quicker for you to access information and news. We are still awaiting a number of consent forms so, if you have not yet returned it, please can you do so as soon as possible. Thank you.

Cross country 

A huge well done to all of the children who took part in the second cross country event at The Corbet School, and really persevered in the awful weather! Good luck to everyone who is taking part in the third race on Wednesday 13th. The fourth and final race will be held on Wednesday 20th November.

 

EYFS play area – polite reminder 

Please can we ask that children do not use the Early Years play area after school, even if children are supervised. The facility is there for use during the school day only. Thank you.

Aldi Kit for Schools

Thank you to everyone who brought in Aldi stickers for our poster. We managed to complete it at the disco so it can now be sent off. We will then be in with the chance of winning £20,000 so we will be keeping everything crossed!

Finally…

Please can children make sure they wear a coat to school now that the weather is starting to turn a bit chilly.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
