Merry Christmas Everyone   

Hi everyone and welcome to the second half of autumn term. This page will display general information and specific dates of events that you will need to know. Any photos and/or videos will appear on the school's facebook page and here. 

Important events and dates 

Spelling: I will be looking forward to working with quite a few of you in the new year in a short workshop. This will enable you to work at home with your child on their spellings. Some children are learning year 1,2 and 3 words. We will be working together towards the idea that 'All children can spell' and it is just a matter of practise.

Assessment week: This week beginning Monday December 2nd, children will undertake three mathematics tests consisting of basic arithmetic, mental computation of all the four operations, word problems including reasoning and higher order and critical thinking questions. Pupils will also take part in a comprehension activity where they will read three separate texts consisting of both fiction and non-fiction texts. Spelling of the year 4 words and times tables will also be tested. Finally, they will complete a grammar test which also include 20 words to spell. 

Brass lessons: Letters will be going out very soon regarding the instrument your child has chosen to play. They have the option to bring it home and then bring it in every Monday for lessons. 

        Homework and Reading Expectations

One piece of homework for spelling, times tables, maths and English will go out on Friday as will a new reading book. This will be returned on the following Friday. The expectation is that children will ask the teacher for help if they struggle with the homework and read to an adult at home. Diaries are checked for signing by an adult to show us you are reading with your child.
