Maths sessions which have been held by Mr Jones & Miss Bold on a Thursday morning have now finished.
We are very grateful for the hard work and effort shown by the children in the last few months and we are sure this will benefit them in the future.
Maths sessions which take place on a Tuesday morning will continue for 1 more week and these children will have their final session on Tuesday 7th May.
We are pleased that we will once again be offering all Yr 6 children the chance to take part in the Deer Park Photography Competition taking place on Friday 24th May.
We will be taking the children to Chetwynd Deer Park where they will spend either the morning or afternoon working with a professional photographer, who will teach the children how to take the best possible photos; children will then be given time to capture as many images as they can. They will then be able to enter their best photo to be put forward to the Newport Show judges; prizes are usually awarded for the top 3 entries.
All the information should be contained within the attached letter. As ever, if you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher.
Homework due by Wednesday 1st May
If you have any problems with the homework, please email or speak to your child’s class teacher who will be happy to help.
Homework due by Wednesday 24th April
Complete mixed objectives test on http://www.maths.co.uk this has been set up to target several key objectives as a means of revision. We use this information to plan appropriate support within school.
Complete fluency sheet on using colons. Some of this will need to be written in the homework books, some can be completed on the sheet.
Thank you for your on going support in ensuring children are able to complete their homework. It is all part of our efforts to support their transition to secondary school.
A wonderful experience for lower school today: Indy, from Telford Gurdwara, visited us to lead an assembly on life as a Sikh. This builds on from last year’s visit to the Gurdwara for the current Yr 4s and will give the current Yr 3s, who will be studying Sikhism this term, a brilliant insight into the religion. Our thanks to Indy and his team for helping to to build relationships across faiths in our local community.
Homework is due in by Wednesday 17th April.
We ask that all children, unless prior agreed by the teacher, complete this homework. The maths test gives us information on gaps in learning that we use to help best prepare the children for their upcoming SATs.
Just a reminder that Maths tutoring for children in Mr Jones’, Miss Bold’s & Mrs Ollerenshaw is taking place tomorrow morning.
Please ensure you arrive by 8am and make your way straight to the classroom where the teacher will be waiting.
During the Easter holiday, our main priority is that the children enjoy the break, remain active and spend time with friends & family.
We are, however, aware that some parents are keen to keep their child ticking over with some homework so we have put together a few bits to complete which should help the children consolidate their learning from the classroom.
Enjoy a lovely Easter break.
Yr 6
Please can we remind parents of the expectations around PE kits within school.
Children should have a plain t-shirt which is the colour of their given house team (red, yellow, blue or green) or alternatively a plan white t-shirt. In addition to this, children should have black shorts and outdoor shoes available. During outdoor sessions, children are permitted to wear black joggers and a jumper/fleece/jacket.
We are seeing an increasing number of children who are bringing in football kits/tops for PE kit which is not part of the school policy. Please can we ask that children do not bring football kits to school as PE kit.
If you have any questions around this please contact your child’s class teacher.
Please ensure that you have filled in & returned the information on the bottom of the letter sent home on Friday regarding the leavers’ hoodies.
We are very grateful to our PTA for their hard work in ensuring children are able to have a hoody this year.
As it states on the letter, if it is not returned by Wednesday, staff will estimate sizing and will request for the first name to be printed.
Many thanks
