Home Learning:

English

  • Spellings - spelling will be taught in school weekly. Ten spelling words will be sent home on a Monday in your child's spelling journal. Please ensure your child writes an engaging, well-punctuated sentence for 5 of the words. The spelling journal is to be returned to school by the following Thursday. Children will be tested on all 10 spellings on the Friday.
  • Reading - encourage children to read daily. Try to find time to share a book with your child each week. 

Maths

  • Paper-based maths homework will be handed out to children on a Wednesday in a document wallet. The homework is due the following Tuesday.
  • Times Tables Rockstars - encourage children to login and regularly practise their times tables. 

Please feel free to contact us via the email addresses above where we will be happy to answer any questions or queries that you may have.

Please copy both teachers into any emails.

If your email is regarding attendance, please also copy the school office into the email.

Allergy Advice 

We have children with a severe dairy allergy causing  anaphylaxis in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. For this reason, all children must only bring nut and dairy-free snacks. Fruit is ideal. 

Forest School

Forest School sessions will take place for Year 5s on Monday afternoons on the following dates:

November 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th and December 7th.

These sessions take place whatever the weather, so it is important that your child comes into school wearing clothes according to the weather on that day: lightweight, long trousers and sleeves are best to avoid irritation from plants and insects.

Please ensure your child has a spare change of clothes in school on Forest School days as they often get very muddy and wet – even with the waterproofs and wellies we provide! If you have your own waterproofs and wellies, please send them in.

Textiles:

Year 6s will be starting their sewing project. Please send in any unwanted clothing or material. We are looking at how we can re-purpose unwanted textiles into new functional accessories.
