4 years ago Posted on 30th Nov 2020 by A Pinches Homework for 1.12.20 Thank you to everyone that has had a go at the homework this week set on Classroom Secrets Kids. I know from the emails received on Saturday and Sunday that this has not been successful for all. Apologies for this. Please don’t worry if you have not been able to access this due to poor internet connection etc. We are still working hard as a staff to find the best way to set homework in a format that works for all our learners. Your feedback on this is welcomed. The children are working so hard, I would hate for anyone to feel discouraged. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Best Wishes, Miss Pinches
4 years ago Posted on 29th Nov 2020 by A Pinches Magical mapping! This week we explored what maps are and how we use them. We then had a go at drawing our own sketch maps of the classroom. This week, we will be using compass directions. Advance Notice: On Thursday 10th December, we will be filming a short Christmas performance. I want to keep the costumes as easy as possible so am suggesting that children come to school on the day in either a nativity costume of their choice e.g. angel, shepherd, wise man or a Christmas jumper/ top with trousers, jeans or a skirt of their choice.
