Reading
Children are asked to read at home on a daily basis and their book should be brought to school each day. It is helpful if parents can comment regularly in their child’s Reading Record, particularly when their child has finished their book. Children are responsible for changing and selecting their own books in the morning.
Homework
Children will be given homework each Friday to be handed in by the following Tuesday. Children are also asked to learn spellings and times tables at home. They are responsible for recording their homework in their homework diary.
Other
Children are asked to bring to school a water bottle. They should have a waterproof coat when it is raining or the forecast is for rain.
We had a great week last week in Waterloo Bridge Class. We enjoyed taking part in cross country running at Duppas Hill Park on Tuesday. We also participated in “Wear a Hat” day on Friday. This week our learning will be as follows.
- In mathematics we will learn to divide numbers both with and without remainders.
- In English we will write newspaper articles based on the Easter story.
- In topic time we will focus on work around the Easter story creating sadness and joy collages.
- In PHSE we will continue our work using the NSPCC’s “Let’s talk pants” materials. Details of this can be found at https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/underwear-rule/
It was lovely seeing parents at parents’ evening meetings this week and last. Please get in touch if you still need a meeting.
We break up on Friday 5th April. We hope that all families have a great Easter holiday.
