Welcome back


Welcome back after the Easter break.  We hope the children had a restful 2 weeks and are ready for the summer term!  A blog with our Summer Newsletter and class timetable will follow later this week.

PE kits

Tuesdays will be our PE day for this term so please ensure your child’s kit is back in school if you have not done so already.  (There were many missing today!)

Indoor shoes

Many children have also forgotten their black indoor school shoes; please remind them to bring them in from tomorrow.

Pencil cases

Already we are lending out pens and equipment!  Please ensure your child’s pencil case is fully stocked; particularly with a blue handwriting pen (not a biro or erasable pen), glue stick and green pen.

Swimming

Swimming will start on Monday (24.04.17).  The first group (3F and half of 3O) will be leaving on the coach at 8:50am.  It is imperative that the children are on time as the coach will not wait.  Most children wear their swimwear under their uniform, to make changing as quick as possible, so please ensure you pack them some underwear as well as their towel!  Swim hats are highly recommended and long hair must be tied back.  The children do not need to bring goggles.

This week…

English

We are working towards writing an adventure story over the next few weeks.  Our grammar focus is on paragraphs, sentence types and speech marks.

Maths

This week we are recapping addition and the expanded column method.  Some children may move on to the compact method.  Next week we are going over our multiplication methods.
