We are still experiencing issues with Edshed so paper copies of maths homework will be given out tomorrow and a paper copy of the new spellings was given out today. Hopefully these issues will soon be resolved and children will be able to log on to view and complete homework and play the games related to their spellings.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Mrs Colin-Stokes

As we said in the post last week, children will receive a paper copy of new spellings and they will also be able to access them on Edshed. Maths homework will also be set on the maths shed area of Edshed. Unfortunately, children will not be able to access the spellings or homework on Edshed this week so they will have their paper copy of spellings (that were given out today) and will receive a paper copy of the maths homework on Tuesday. Apologies for this – we hope this will only be for this week and all will be resolved for next week.

If there are any concerns about the spellings or homework please do get in touch.

Mrs Colin-Stokes

It has been lovely welcoming the children in Blue back to school; they seem  keen and ready to learn after the long break.  A warm welcome to Nina and Cameron who have joined our class from other schools.

We appreciate we sent this information at the beginning of the week but we know some of you may not have seen this bulletin .

Staffing:

Class teachers:

Mrs Colin-Stokes: Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday

Mrs Benson: Thursday, Friday and every other Wednesday

Mrs Stalmans: Wednesday afternoon teaching computing, music/ art.

TAs:

Mrs Wade

Mrs Richardson

PE days:

Monday and Friday- children need to come to school in their PE kit. As the weather gets colder, children should bring joggers and layers. Children need to take out stud earrings or bring their own tape to cover them.

Homework:

Reading: In Blue Class there is an expectation that children should read each evening. Their reading book should be in school each day and they may choose a book from home or one from our school library. Children should record what they have read in their diaries and parents need to sign their diaries. Whilst many of our children are fluent readers in year 5/6, it is important that parents/ carers hear their child  read aloud at least once a week. This is an ideal opportunity to discuss the books they are reading and ask questions about it to improve their comprehension. Reading diaries will be checked each Wednesday.

Maths: Homework will be set on a Tuesday by Mrs Colin- Stokes and will be on Ed Shed. All children will have a login. Homework needs to be completed by the following Tuesday.

English: English  homeworkwill be set on a Thursday by Mrs Benson but needs to be in by the following Tuesday. This will be work set on paper or in their punctsuation and grammar books that will be given to them.

Spellings: New spellings are set on a Monday on Ed Shed and children also bring home a paper copy. Games and quizzes are on ed shed to help children learn their spellings prior to testing the following Monday.

Teachers and TAs are very happy to help with homework but please come and see us BEFORE the day that it is due so we can help. All homework will start next week.

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via email or we are usually available at the end of the day.
