Another busy week with lots of Welsh activities as part of Welsh fortnight. We finished our amazing art with Welsh artist Lucy Morris-Meades which we will share with you soon, the children wrote wonderful poems about Y Ddraig Goch and created 'blogs' highlighting the fabulous features of Wales . 

 

Next week is a chance for us to share your child's progress at our Parent's Evenings, we also have our visit to the cinema on Tuesday.

 

The Year 5 girls football team did really well at the the recent tournament, well done to them! They have also successfully persuaded Mrs Phillips to have a 'girls only' football day on a Friday. A brilliant presentation girls.

Home Learning

 

Our expectation are for the children to read daily at home. We check their reading records each Friday. Please help us monitor this by keeping this record up to date.

 

It is essential that pupils develop quick recall of their times tables. We have regular TT Rockstars sessions in school. Pupils can practice their tables in a variety of ways including logging in to Sumdog from home

 

Sumdog activities will also be set on a regular basis. Each time these are set, the children have 1 week to complete these.
