Money, Money, Money!

Remember, during the holidays if you play on Times Tables Rockstars and Spelling Shed twice a week and also complete the 4 challenges on Mathletics then you'll receive your first Golden Smiley when you return in September and now they'll have a value so you'll be able to save your rewards for prizes throughout the year!

Also, remember to READ, READ, READ! "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." (Dr Seuss)

Year 5 News

Year 5 I have been spying on you!

Well done to Jamaine, Krzysztof, Laura and Rocco who have been playing on Times Tables Rock Stars and to Krzysztof, Laura, Demi-Jo and Roxanne who have been on Spelling Shed.  You are well on your way to achieving your first rewards in September! 

Remember, if you play on Tables Rock Stars, Spelling Shed and Mathletics twice each week during the holidays, you can earn your first rewards too!

Year 6 News

Year 6, you have 4 new Mathletics games waiting for you!  Who will be the first to complete them?

Year 5 Homework

Don't forget that tomorrow is the day to return your first piece of Year 5 homework!  I already have 8 pieces of homework in the box and am looking forward to seeing the other 22 tomorrow.  If you haven't done it, there's still time to do it tonight ready to bring to school in the morning.

We've had a lovely first week in Year 5.  We've really enjoyed getting to know the children and I hope they've enjoyed getting to know us too.

We've been discussing our hopes and aspirations for the future and are looking forward to completing some artwork on Monday.

Well done to Archie and Jamaine who had a special mention in Golden assembly and to Ruby who won our certificate.

Just a few things to let you know over the weekend...

The children were given their first piece of homework for Year 5.  On Friday, we did some work on modal verbs so the homework sheet focusses on these.  Please help your child complete the sheet and take good care of it until they return it.  It's due back on Wednesday but if anyone wants to return it before then, they are more than welcome.  If your child has found this too hard and would like some help, they can come and see me at lunch time on Monday or Tuesday.  If the sheet is lost, they will need to ask for a new one!

I have also asked the children to use Times Tables Rock Stars and Spelling Shed over the weekend.  I can see that Alfie and Brooke have had a go at some spellings and practiced their times tables.  Really well done to you two.  They have got to be first in line for my golden smilies on Monday!  That is, unless anyone else can beat them...

Our attendance this week was pretty good at 98%.  Well done to all those children who came to school every day.  However we were pipped at the post by Year 3, who had 98.67%!!  Let's see if we can beat them in the last week of the year!

Did you know that the reading raffle is still running?  As a school we usually have about 100 people in the raffle but this week we only had 22!  We have taken in school reading books but we'd still love children to read.  They can read all sorts of things: a book from home, a book they have borrowed, a book from the library, a magazine or newspaper...  As long as you sign their diary to say they have read each day, we can add them to the reading raffle for the final time this year.  On Monday, I've asked the children to bring to school the books they are reading at home so that they can see each others'.  They might even inspire one of their classmates by recommending a book to them.

And finally, all children were given their annual report on Friday.  I hope you have enjoyed reading them and are pleased with the progress they have made in Year 4.  Here's to a great year in Year 5!

New Year 4 P.E

Tomorrow the children may still be having a P.E lesson with Mr Andrews. Please could you make sure that your child/children have their P.E kit in school so that they can take part in the lesson. The class will still be having P.E lessons next week too. They will be able to take them home on the Thursday.

Thank you

Year 3 Mathletics

Today I gave the children log in details: username and password for Mathletics. 

This is a fun way to consolidate the learning we will be doing within the classroom in Maths.

It is fantastic to see that already Olivia, Alessia, Mateusz and Louisa have all been on tonight at home for over an hour. These children are well on their way to achieve a bronze certificate. Well done! Let's see how many children can earn a certificate by next week Year 3.
