Happy Friday, everybody!
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog - A new blog
post will be posted every Friday containing information about what the children
have been up to and what they will be doing in school the following week. It
will also detail any reminders or special events coming up, as well as the
Maths and English homework that has been set for each year group. Further
information on this will follow.
We have had a great first week back. It was so lovely to
welcome the children back into school on Wednesday and to hear all of their
holiday news!
The children have settled in so well and we are all very
proud of how well the children have coped in their new classrooms and with new
routines. Thank you so much for joining Dojo. I think you'll agree that it
makes communication between parents and teachers so much quicker and easier.
Please do not hesitate to use it to contact us if you need to or to send in
photos of any special activities or achievements that the children have
completed at home. We will also be continuing with 'Wow's' in Key Stage 1. (We
know how you all like to use them as bribes from time to time! 😀)
These can be in the form of the usual paper copy or via Dojo.
Reminders
It is important that your child brings with them a water
bottle and their reading diary and reading book every day please. The
guided reading books are needed for the next group each week, so returning them
is very important.
Ensure that all hats, cardigans, jumpers,
coats etc. have the children's names in them! We have already had a number of
children losing items and our lost property is mounting up! We would be
grateful if you could do a quick check of the uniform this weekend please
(including their PE kit). The children are far less likely to lose things that
are labelled and it makes our life so much easier!
**Don't forget that Monday is our PE day, so the
children come to school in their school PE kit.**
Forest School dates will be announced next week.
Reading Books
Your child will have brought home coloured reading books
this week. This is to supplement extra reading practice alongside their Phonics
Guided Reading books which will be coming home next Friday. Please write in
your child's reading diary about any reading they have done as regularly as
possible. Little and often helps your child's development so much! A quick note
or a signature is all we need to see when we check if the children have read at
home.
School Council Elections
Next week we will be holding elections in class to choose
our class councillor, who will become part of the School Council. If your child
wishes to stand they might like to make a poster or prepare a short speech
which will help them make their case to the class!
If you have any issues or questions, please, please come
and see us at the end of the day or send us a Dojo message.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Best wishes
Mrs Griffiths, Miss Bridges, Mrs Elms and Mrs Holmes
