NSPCC Fundraising – Thank You

We would like to say a huge thank you and well done to all the children who obtained sponsorship for the NSPCC Buddy’s Challenge. They raised an incredible £871.80 which is an amazing achievement. The NSPCC visited school this morning to announce the amount raised and say thank you to all the children. I will upload a photo from the assembly over the weekend.

This week the children have revised qu, ch and ng.

The children though of words containing the digraphs and had a go at spelling them. Many have used some of their phonic knowledge to write menus for our class cafe.

qu – queen, quick, quarrel, squirrel, quiz

ch – cheese, chips, chocs, chatter, children

ng – strong, long, song, king, ring

Here is a fun set of games to play that will help your child with segmenting and blending:

Class 3 PE

Dear Parents/Carers,

This is just a reminder to let you know that the children have PE on a Thursday and Friday so they will need a full kit, including trainers in school on these days.

On a Friday the children have football so need to make sure they bring trainers which are okay to get muddy and also a plastic bag to put them in afterwards. Football boots are allowed.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt

Tomorrow afternoon I would like to take Class 2 on an Autumnal walk around the village to gather Autumn objects. We will then return to class to discuss and write about our findings. If you do not wish for your child to take part then please let me know in the morning.

Please could all children have their PE footwear in school and a warm coat for the walk.

Thank you

Miss Edwards

Maths this week and request for 1p and 2p coins

This week we have concentrated on numbers. The children have practised counting to 10, 20 and even higher!

We have ordered numbers, said which numbers are bigger or smaller, estimated how many objects then carefully counted.

The class has shown an interest in setting up a Cafe this week, so next week we will be concentrating on money – role play shop / cafe / burger van / ice cream parlour.

We would be grateful if you have any spare 1p and 2p coins if you could donate them to the class to give the role play a more authentic experience for the children.

Also if you have any old pots/ pans / trays / bowls / cutlery etc, we would love them for our role play areas.
