Welcome back

Hopefully everyone is now recovered from the sickness bug!

Next week we will be making and eating gingerbread men and pancakes, as part of our food topic.

Please let a  member of staff know if  you do not want your child to eat their gingerbread man, or pancake in school.

Gluten free options will be available.

 

Please remember to read with your child every day.

Busters Book Club

A big thank you and well done to all the children who had their names on the Superhero reading board this week. I have seen a massive improvement over the last two weeks. Remember you only need to read for 10 mins a day to get your name on that board. Let’s see if we can get more names next week. Please keep it up!
Busters Book Club Ambassador
 
Do you enjoy reading?
Are you up for a challenge?
Could you encourage others to read?
We need Ambassadors who are keen to help encourage their classes to read and to remind them to have their bookmarks signed on a Wednesday evening.
If you are interested, simply design a poster for Busters Book Club. This needs to remind children to read every Wednesday and have their bookmark signed. On the back of your poster, please explain why you think you would be good at the role of Ambassador!
Please hand in your completed posters to the school office by Wednesday 1st February. If you have any questions – see Mrs Longman.

Fun Factory!!!

Today the children took part in the Fun factory. This was activities set up to encourage the children to move in different ways. They took part in races running. jumping and balancing with different pieces of equipment. They also played games where they practised their throwing and catching skills. It was great fun!

balanceability

On Thursday the reception children all took part in balance ability

They were provided with balance bikes and asked to complete different activities. They had great fun

On Friday 20th the reception children will be taking part in the Fun Factory- a set of multi-skills games. Please could they have a pair of plimsoles in school for this exciting activity.

Many Thanks

Happy New Year.

It has been lovely to welcome your children back to school after the holiday.

Please could you make sure that while we are in this ‘cold snap’ that you send your child to school with hats, gloves etc.

Also could I ask you to read with your child every day. We are only asking for 10 minutes but it will really make a difference to your child’s learning and development. It will also make a difference to our Buster’s Book Club percentages. Reception have not been doing very well compared to other year groups across the school.

Many Thanks

This week we have been learning the sounds s. a, t and p during our Letters and Sounds sessions. We have included the Jolly phonics songs which accompany these sounds for you to use at home.
The dates for the Stay and Learn sessions are as follows- Tues 8th, Tues 15th and Tues 22nd. Please feel free to come along and join in with a phonics session from 8.50-9.15
You will need to sign in at the school office before the session starts.

On Wed 9th Nov we will be visiting the Environmental centre and need parents to help us walk the children to and from school. We will be leaving school promptly at 1 p.m. and will return to school in time for the end of the day. If you are able to help please complete the Parent mail slip and return to school asap. If we don’t get enough helpers we will have to cancel the trip.

On Wed 19th Oct at 2.15 I will be holding an information meeting for parents on how we teach phonics in Reception and year 1. This meeting will also include information regarding the year1 phonics screening test.
I look forward to seeing you there.
