Happy Friday, everybody! We hope you have had a great week.
We have been busy in KS1 looking at the traditional tale of the Goldilocks and
the Three Bears in English as well as learning about the points of a compass in
Geography.
Forest School
Forest School sessions will be starting from next week.
Peony Class will be on alternate Mondays.
Lavender Class will be on alternate Tuesdays.
Poppy Class will be on alternate Thursdays.
The children we need to wear long sleeved tops and trousers/leggings.
Children will need to wear weather appropriate footwear. Old trainers would be
perfect as the weather has been drier recently. As we move into wetter, colder
months wellies will be much more appropriate.
We will send a message on ClassDojo as a reminder on Forest School weeks.
Roald Dahl Day
This Monday we will be celebrating Roald Dahl day in school.
We are looking forward to seeing the children’s wonderful costumes. Please do
bear in mind that the children will have PE on Monday so their costumes and shoes
will need to be appropriate for this.
Baby Photos
One of the main themes of our science learning this half
term is living and non-living things. In this, we look at how all living things
grow and consider how we have all grown up from being a baby. To help us in
this work, if you could send in a photograph of your child as a baby this would
make their learning more relatable to themselves. Please send this in via Dojo to
your child’s class teacher by Friday 18th September 2026.
Spellings Homework
This week, your child will come home with some spellings to
practice at home. Please practice these spellings on the sheet, this does not
need to be returned to us.
Reading At Home
Reading regularly at home will make a huge impact on your
child's reading development and learning across the whole curriculum. Please
read each week as often as you can and jot it down in the reading diary. It is
also important to talk about a book when you have finished your reading. Which
is your favourite part? Did you like this character? Why?
We will send home the book that your child has been reading
in their Guided Reading sessions during the week. Up to two additional reading
books from the colour bands will come home and will be changed weekly if they
have been read at home. Please note the reading you are doing at home in your
child's reading diary so we can see each week if the children are ready for a
new book.
Always remember to have your child's reading books and
reading diary in school everyday!
If you have any issues or questions, please, please come
and see us at the end of the day or send us a message on ClassDojo.
Have a great weekend!
Much love
Mrs Griffiths, Miss Bridges, Mrs Holmes & Mrs Elms
