School Library Launch
Our new school library has been launched this week and our children have been very excited about spending time in there choosing books from what is now a vast selection! Thank you to everyone who donated books last term and also during the past couple of weeks.
From Monday 30th September, the library will be open on Mondays and Thursdays after school until 4:00 p.m. A group of parent volunteers will be on hand to help children choose and borrow books and we look forward to developing this over the coming months.
Weekly Spellings
We have reviewed the impact of children learning spellings by rote and them being given a list of words to learn each week for their spelling tests. In order to equip children in how to deal with spelling unfamiliar words, we have changed how we are teaching spellings across Classes 3 to 5.
Children will be bringing home a spelling menu / spelling activities list, which they are using in school, and they may want to use some of these ideas at home to practise their weekly spelling pattern. The weekly spelling pattern for each class will be uploaded to the website on Monday mornings and children will be tested on examples of words, that use this pattern, on Friday mornings.
Aldi Get Set stickers
We are collecting Aldi’s Get Set to Eat Fresh stickers so if you shop at Aldi, or you know of friends or family who do, we would be really grateful for any stickers towards our collection. Thank you!
