We love being outdoors and exploring, so far this term as well as settling back into routines we have been exploring our school environment.
Our class topic is
'AWESOME AUTUMN'
As the term progresses we will post pictures so that you can see what we have been doing.
An email with our Autumn Term letter was sent to all parents at the start of term but key information is below.
Reading books are changed Monday and Thursday to allow for 'Book Quarantine'
Please hear your children read daily if possible, it really is key to their progress.
PE is on Wednesday and the children may come to school in PE kit all day.
Spellings will be given out on a Friday to be tested the following Friday. They will also be uploaded to this page weekly.
'Mucky Mondays' started on 21st September! We are having so much fun learning outside and getting very messy!
This term we have been visited by Sneezy the Dragon, he has inspired lots of writing back in the classroom!
Below are some pictures!
We will be doing outside learning all day on Mucky Mondays! So please send your children in school uniform but warm trousers please also send additional appropriate clothing, sun hats, wellies, warm coats, extra layers, waterproofs etc.
My Maths homework has now been set, well done to everyone who has had a go so far!
Please let us know if you do not have log in details, individual letters were sent home at the start of this half term.
Our Mucky Mondays are proving a winner, we have all had a lot of fun and so far the weather has been kind!
