Head Lice – Reminder

Following last week’s newsletter, please could we ask you to check your child’s/children’s hair for head lice.  We are aware that some children in school have needed treatment again this week, after also needing treatment last week. Thank you in advance for your support with this.

KS2 Cross Country

Several KS2 children expressed an interest in taking part in the final event in The Corbet’s cross country league on Monday 16th after school.   If your child is taking part, please return reply slips on Monday morning (if you have not done so already) so that we have an idea of numbers. Thank you

Quick Sticks Hockey

Well done to the group of children who competed in the hockey tournament at The Corbet earlier this week. Mrs J was very proud of you!

Morning Routines

Now that things are back to normal, and the children are entering their classroom through the infant playground in the morning, just to clarify that we would prefer for children to go into class straightaway when they arrive and not to stay out on the playground.  During the autumn term we found that children settled much quicker and it prepared them for the day ahead by going straight into class so we are keen to continue this.  If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to speak to me or your child’s class teacher (s).

Allergy Forms

Thank you for the allergy forms returned to date.  We will presume that children for whom we have not received a form do not have any allergies.

Year 5 Bikeability

Please could the Bikeability letters be returned as soon as possible.

Pantomime – Advance Notice

We have booked seats for all classes to see the pantomime at Theatre Severn in December.  We thought we’d mention it now just in case you were super organised and decided to buy tickets yourself!  A letter regarding costs and times etc will be sent out in September.

Snow

In the event of bad weather, please check to see if the School is open before travelling to the site. This can be done by:

  • Checking the school website
  • Listening to BBC Radio Shropshire 96.00 FM for the list of school closures
  • Checking the list of school closures on www.shropshire.gov.uk

If the school is closed, we will try and make a decision as early as possible and will intend to re-open as soon as we can. Please refer to the snow and bad weather guidance in the public area of our school website (Policies page) for more information.

Have a good weekend.

Class 3 Weekly Update

Happy New Year! We’ve got straight back to it in Class 3 this week, here are some of the things we’ve been getting up to….

English: We have been doing some grammar work this week, focusing on adverbs for time and place as well as adverbial phrases. We have been learning what these are and have been practising being able to spot them within a sentence. The children have had a go at improving sentences by adding these and will be challenged to create some of their own on Monday.

Maths: We have continued to practise the grid method for multiplication and some children have moved onto the expanded column method. The children have begun to apply their methods to some worded problems this week. We moved onto division today, where we have revised how to use a number line to help us and will continue this next week.

History: The children have been introduced to their new topic about The Romans. They were all very excited and keen to tell me what they already know. We then spent some time looking through information books to get a general overview of The Romans and came up with some questions we would like to find the answers to throughout the term.

RE: We have just begun our incarnation unit which begins by looking at baptism. We have read  and watched clips from the ‘Miracle Maker’ of the baptism of Jesus and discussed how this can help us to understand Christian’s believes in the Trinity.

PE: The children have enjoyed doing some circuit training this week.

French: The children have been learning how to say parts of the body today and had great fun singing ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ in french.

Head Lice

We have been made aware that there are a couple of cases of head lice in school at the moment. Could we please ask that you check your child’s/children’s hair carefully and use appropriate treatment if you find that your child is affected before they return to school.

There are leaflets available at the Office with the latest information on how to treat for head lice but if you have any queries or questions please do not hesitate to speak to myself or another member of staff.

Thank you for your support.
