Class 5 Half-term homework

Following on from our work on biographical writing, you will be pleased to know that you will be writing your autobiography when we come back to school; we know how keen many of you were to talk about your own life!

Use what you learnt when writing a biography, to make your writing interesting, by including memorable events, as well as including general information about your family, hobbies, pets, places you have lived, etc.  You can use the ideas below to help you make notes but you don’t need to write your autobiography in full, as we will be doing this in literacy lessons in school.

 

Date and place of birth

 

Home e.g. where you live now or have lived previously

 

Family

 

Education – you might want to include nursery or any other schools you might have attended

 

Pets

 

Hobbies/interests

 

Main achievements

 

Memorable incidents or events

 

Hopes and ambitions – what you would like to do in the future

Sickness Reminder

Children should not return to school until 48 hours after the last bout of sickness and/or diarrhoea, to prevent the spread of infection. Thank you.

Plant a Fruit Tree

On Saturday 16th May 2015 we are planting the Orchard.

We  have received some of the trees for planting the orchard, and the raspberry canes.

Please come along and help garden, so the children can enjoy delicious fresh fruit straight from the tree.

10.30 onwards, this Saturday, refreshments provided.

Looking forward to seeing you, Catherine Orrell

Thanks to Defra and the RHS for the Incredible Edible Grant and    Severn Trent for the tools.

 

In the woods

This morning Class 1 went to the woods….they listened to the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and then worked in pairs to freeze frame one of the scenes from the story.  Some even managed to have a go at doing more freeze frames.  They were asked to think carefully about their body language and facial expressions to get in the role of the characters – there were some very convincing faces!

Please could you bring your envelope with your childs name written on it into the school office asap together with the slip explaining the total amount raised and how your child raised it. Also, if your child has not taken part, please return the original slip with the £1 coin.

Craft Club – 7th May

Craft Club has been cancelled this Thursday 7th May.

Class One Teddy Bear’s Picnic Tuesday 5th May

Hi Everyone

On Tuesday 5th May, we are hoping to visit the woods for a Teddy Bear’s Picnic in the afternoon. We will be taking fairy tale books to read, such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Little Red Riding Hood.

Children are invited to bring in one teddy bear of their choice from home.

We would be most grateful of any donations of picnic finger food/snacks, such as  savoury / sweet biscuits, crisps, fruit, carrot sticks, marshmallows, mini sausages, sausage rolls, cheese rolls, mini pizza bites, buns, cakes etc. (A few of the children in Class One wrote a list of food that they would hope for at the picnic!)

We won’t need sandwiches thank you as the children will have already had their lunch at school.

Please could any donations be brought into school on the morning of Tuesday 5th May.

Thank you very much,

Mrs Conde
