- In your child’s homework diary, they will have a green stamp at the end of each day to show they are following our school’s ‘Good to be Green’ behaviour policy. If they do not get a green stamp it is because they have not ended the day on a green card or have received a red card during the day. You will be notified by text if a red card consequence has occurred.
Monday is a bank holiday so our first day back at school is Tuesday.
This week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we will work on column addition and subtraction and we will use the skills we have learned to solve problems.
- In English we will learn about the features of a diary entry and we will write our own diary entries based on our text, the Lost Happy Endings by Carol Ann Duffy and Jane Ray.
- In science we will go outside to look at invertebrates. We will then try to classify them by their features.
- In RHE we have started a new programme of work called Cues-Ed. This week we will learn to look after our emotional well being through eating, sleeping and relaxation.
