RE tomorrow- 17.11.23

As part of our RE this week, we are looking at the celebration of Rosh Hashanah. It is often celebrated by enjoying apple dipped in honey. Children can try this if they wish but don’t have to. Please let me know if your child has any allergies.

kind regards

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:

https://support.edshed.com/portal/en/kb/articles/do-i-need-to-buy-the-app-to-play-the-games-at-home

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…

Red class update!

It has been a good week in Red class. The Year 4 children have welcomed the new Year 3 and all have enjoyed re-establishing friendships!

Mrs Harper-Jones is teaching in Red class on Mon, Tues, Wed and Thurs. Mrs Derrer teaches in Red on Fridays. Mrs Colin-Stokes is the TA in class.

PE days are Wednesdays and Fridays for Red class this term. Mr Bennett from the sports partnership is teaching gymnastics on a Friday.

We encourage our children to do as much reading as possible at home. Reading diaries are collected on a Friday and merits are awarded if we can see that children have been reading daily. Please sign your child’s diary if you hear them as they can gain merits weekly for this!

Spellings are given out on a Friday and the test is the following week. This week, please encourage your child to learn as many spellings as they can.

Have a good weekend!

Our presentation about our visit to the Hindu Temple

Following their visit on Monday to the Hindu Temple, Red Class created a wonderful presentation to share with Yellow Class as we have been learning about special places in R.E. Yellow Class listened intently as every child in Red Class stood up to speak, sharing all that they had learnt on their visit. We were so impressed and the children asked some great questions which Red Class were able to answer with confidence.

Red class visit to Balaji Temple

We had a fabulous trip to the Balaji Temple. They made us very welcome and we had a lovely tour of the buildings: shrines and main hall. This reinforced the children’s previous learning on Hinduism and they could answer several questions. The children were respectful and listened with great interest.

We have some plain biscuits to take as a snack during the morning. Lunch will be eaten on our return to school.

Please send children with a raincoat as there are showers forecast!

Windrush Day – Thursday 22nd June

As we studied the Windrush, we thought it would be appropriate for Red class to celebrate Windrush day. On Thursday 22nd, Red class children can come to school in their own bright clothes. We will do some activities to mark the day.

Thank you

Animals in Hands

There was great excitement today when the exotic animals visited as part of our science programme. The children really enjoyed listening to Mo the Zoo Keeper who shared his love of the animals. Red class saw a tarantula, python, skunk and a tree frog. There were some nervous faces! Mo was very calm and showed tge children how to handle the animals with care.
