Homework for Movie night

Children have completed written homework in school today as a lot of them are attending Movie night later in school. Please just learn spellings, do the wordlist and do team teaching reading.

Thanks,

Denise.

Head Lice

Hi,

There have been cases of head lice in the school. Can parents please check their child's hair regularly. Children may not return to school until their child's hair has been treated.

Thanks,

Denise.

Kinsealy Pet Shop came to visit yesterday. Here is a look at what we saw!

G.A.A

Just a reminder: 1st class will be starting G.A.A tomorrow.

The Skeleton dance

S.E.S.E Project

In SESE (History, Geography, Science) this week we are learning about pets, the role of a vet and working animals (Guide dogs).

To extend this topic and learning further I would like each child to complete a mini project on one of the following titles.

1.      My Pet or a pet I know.

2.      The Vet or Zookeeper

3.      Animals who help people.

Your child will get an A3 piece of paper and has a week to complete their mini-project. I have gone through this in class but please can you remind them of the following:

Clear title

Accurate content (Doesn’t have to be too long. I would prefer a short piece that the children really know rather than loads of information that they are unsure of.)

Originality i.e. not copied word for word from book or internet.

Presentation (Can be handwritten or typed)

Pictures (can be printed, drawn or cut from magazine/newspaper etc)

Correct spelling and grammar (capital letters and full stops)

This is the first project we have done in first class so they will need some help at home and at school. I will address any questions during S.E.S.E lessons this week. I will collect the projects on the 13^th of October and the children will have an opportunity to present it to the class that week if they wish.

Thanks for your help.

Enjoy,

Denise. 

The children have their Learn Together copies in their bags to show you some of their work from September. Please sign a page and return to school.

Thanks,

Denise

As you know from our homework, we have started tables this week.
This is a vital aspect of their homework. Repetition and reinforcement are key to helping your child's accuracy at tables so please ensure they do this nightly.

Here are some links to websites you may find useful that allow your child to practise their tables.

Just a reminder that we do D.E.A.R time Tuesday- Friday for ten minutes daily.

If your child is reading a book at home that they would like to read in school please remind them to put it in their bag.

Thanks.
