This week in Blue Class

This week we have a slightly different timetable whilst Year 6 are at Arthog.

PE kits need to be worn on Tuesday and Thursday. Children will need long sleeves and leggings or tracksuit bottoms.

Thank you for the kind donations for the cooking ingredients today.

We will start cooking on Tuesday so the children will need their container to bring home some of their food (if there is any left)!

Dear Parents,

We will printing with paint next Wednesday. In order to keep their school clothes clean, we would advise that you send in an old over sized t-shirt or shirt that can be popped over the top of their uniform. The children can keep these in the bottom of their bags.

Thank you for your support.

Spellings

Spellings in Blue class are given to the children on a Monday. We test spellings the following Monday.

New spellings are given on paper for the children to bring home and are posted on the spellings section on the class page. We do learn about the spelling patterns in class, practise spellings in different ways, and encourage the children to think about which ways work best for them.

Please encourage your child to practise spellings and think about the pattern at home. We are aiming to embed spellings in children’s long term memories not just to have learn them for a Friday test. Knowing them by Friday is a good start though! For spellings to remembered long term, most people need to keep practising  and  recalling them from the memory many times.

New Spellings 11th September

Monday 11th September
LO: learn words ending in ough but not all sounding the same
cough
thought
tough
thorough
rough
although
enough
bought
though
sought
drought
dough

End of the first week

Dear Parents and carers,

It has been wonderful to welcome our children back into Blue Class. Despite the heat, we have had an enjoyable and successful first week back.

We apologise that there was some confusion about PE which will take place on a Monday afternoon and Friday afternoon. Friday this half term is gym which takes place indoors.

Mrs Bernasconi will be teaching on a Monday and Tuesday, and every alternate Wednesday. Mrs Benson will be teaching on a Thursday and Friday and every alternate Wednesday. On a Wednesday afternoon the children will have Mrs Stelmans who will be teaching Art and Music.

All children should now have a reading book which needs to be in school everyday; your child is expecetd to read at home for approximately 15 minutes a day. Please can you sign the book when your child has read at home. We know that some of our more fluent readers prefer to read to themselves but please discuss the books that they are reading with them or ask them to read aloud to you. You may wish to share a Junior newspaper with them – Junior Week is a great publication excellent for this age range.

Spellings will go home on a Monday and will be tested the following Monday. We will send more information on homework next week.

Mrs Bernasconi and myself are always here at the end of the day if you wish to speak to us: we are happy to respond to to emails if you have any concerns. However, on the days that we are teaching we may not see them until the end of the day.

Thank you for your support. We hope you have alovely weekend enjoying the late summer sun.

Mrs Benson and Mrs Bernasconi
