Thank you

Thank you all for making my time at Claverley so wonderful.

I was quite overwhelmed by my beautiful cards, gift and messages on my last day at Claverley. Children, staff, parents and governors were so kind, supportive and generous.

I know the children in Blue class will continue to flourish and I am very confident that I will hear wonderful things about them from my friends at Claverley.

Blue Class – take care of Mrs Benson, Mrs Colin Stokes, Mrs Wade and Mrs Richardson. I know they will work hard and look after you brilliantly. Aim high and achieve your best as always. Keep encouraging and supporting each other.

Spellings w/c 22nd January

We have been successfully using Spelling Shed site for a term now.

We are now migtrating the order of learning of spellings to the Spelling Shed order of learning. This is slightly different from the no-nonsense spelling programme, but the overall coverage of National Curriculum expectations is the same.

The children should still log in to Edshed to see the spellings they have been assigned that week. They will continue to get a printed copy on a Monday, but can always check Edshed if the piece of paper has been misplaced…

Maths homework

Maths homework for year 5 is assigned on Edshed. This is usually something we have learned about in class that week or the week before. This is support recall and retrieval of learning.

Year 6 are now being given their maths homework in their booster group sessions. This will usually be some pages from the CGP books which they have been given.

All children should continue to practise their mutliplication and division facts. Instant recall supports so much of the other maths in Year 5 and 6.

Tasks are set on Edshed to support this. The children also have log in for Timetable Rock Stars. They may wish to use other, more traditional methods, to practise or they may have other apps which they find useful.

Digital Leaders

Digital Leaders are children with a passion for technology who want to share their knowledge with others and promote the use of all things digital throughout the school. Being a Digital Leader is a fantastic opportunity to take on responsibility, learn new skills, develop and
demonstrate leadership skills.

Some Year 5 and some year 6 children from Blue class have been chosen to have this role this year.

Year 6

Lily, Iris and Jaxon

Year 5

Molly, Chloe and Eliza

Congratulations!

We are looking forward to seeing them support the other children with the safe use of technology.

Blue visit to the National Space Centre

Blue Class have fully immersed themselves in their science today.

They were a pleasure to take to the National Space Centre. They enthused about the planetarium, exclaimed in the Rocket science show and engaged in the many interactive displays.

Thank you to the parent volunteers who came with us and the support of the PTA.

Blue class visit to National Space Centre

We are looking forward to our visit on Monday 4th December 2023 to the National Space Centre in Leicester.

We will be leaving school promptly at 8am and will return to school at approximately 5pm.

Children will need a packed lunch which should be clearly labelled and in a lightweight bag. the lunch have will be stored in a crate whilst we explore the centre. Please send a refillable bottle with your child so that we can keep them hydrated.

Children should wear school uniform. It is a only a short walk along a footpath from the coach area to the centre, so we will be leaving thick coats on the coach. School hoodies and trousers/ plain black joggers might be warmer than cardigans and skirts.

There is a shop at the centre – children should bring no more than £5 if they wish to buy a small souvenir. They will be responsible for their own money so should bring something to carry it in which can fit in a pocket. Please do not feel that you have to send your child with money.

This is a link to the website for those who would like to look where we are going.

Maths homework 17th November

Maths homework has been assigned for all on MathShed.

This is a recap of factors for most as this is knowledge we will be using when we move on to fractions next week. This was learning from earlier in the term.

Please let me know if you have any problems with the MathShed or the homework on Monday so we have time to help BEFORE the due date. You should complete home work by Wednesday at the latest.

Edshed (Maths Shed and Spelling Shed)

We have now started to set maths homework, timetable tasks and spellings on EDSHED for all children in Red and Blue class.

All the children in KS2 have all been given logins and passwords for Edshed. They should be stuck in to their Reading diaries. This will give them access to both Spelling Shed tasks and Maths Shed tasks.

You do NOT need to buy the maths shed and spelling shed apps. The site can be accessed through any web broweser and played on laps tops, ipads, iphones, kindle fire or any other android tablet. Of course you may choose to buy an app if you prefer.

These video links  and links to the Edshed help pages may help if children are struggling to get used to this new resource:

As well as the task we set the children are able to access other fluency games to support their recall of number facts on Maths Shed. Obviously, we would like them to complete the tasks set but they are free to practise as much as they like once these are completed! This is a good use of screen time…

Maths homework

Both Year 5 and year 6 have had a maths task set on Maths Shed this week.

You need to use your Edshed log on and password. This will take you to both Spelling Shed and Maths Shed.

Please do let me know if there are any problems.

Mrs Bernasconi
