Amethyst, Diamond & Emerald Blog - Friday 10th September 2021

 Happy Friday, everybody! We hope you have had a good week. It has been very busy here and all the children continue to settle extremely well. We have been getting used to our new routines and classroom set ups as we gradually get back to normal.

Reading Books

Today your child will be coming home with their reading diary and reading book - Hooray! Please spend regular short amounts of time reading with your child, talking about the book and enjoying the reading experience. Let us know how you have done by writing in the reading diary each time you read with your child. Please bring this reading book and reading diary into school each day for reading/changing books in class.

Maths Homework Book

Your child will also be bringing home a Maths Homework book today. Homework will come home each Friday and children are asked to do 1 page per week. We ask that the homework book is returned to school by the following Wednesday so it can be marked.

The first page we would ask you to complete is page 6 and 7. Share the explanation page first and then ask your child to work through the second work page. We expect the children to attempt this independently but obviously if they need support feel free to help them in this. There is also a short test on pages 2-5 which you may do at home if you wish.

House Photographs

Just a reminder that to help us in our project learning this week, we would ask if you could send in a photograph of the front of your house. Massive thank you if you have already done this! If not, remember you can send a physical copy or email us a digital copy and if it could be here by Monday 13th September that would be fab!

Don't forget, we are always available on our Key Stage 1 email. If you have any questions or concerns about anything, please just ask and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Have a lovely weekend!
