Herons

Our team includes: Mrs Green (Monday to Wednesday), Mrs Castleman (Wednesday to Friday), Mrs Farmer (everyday except Thursday), Miss Cooper (Thursdays and Fridays). With both of us having a crossover on Wednesday it will allow us to keep each other updated and consistency within the classroom. 

Mrs Farmer is the class MDSA too.

Reading

Please read with your child at least three times a week. Please sign and initial your child’s reading record each time you read with them as it allows your child to go into a raffle for a prize! If you wish to comment as well, that would be most welcome. The children will change their reading books on Friday (unless they haven’t finished it!). We do encourage children to keep their book for at least a week so they have the opportunity to read the book and then understand the book through comprehension questions. The children can visit the school library regularly so that they can borrow other books to enjoy too.

Home Learning

Home learning will be sent home every Wednesday and will need to be returned the following Monday. Each home learning task will be linked to the learning in the classroom. We hope you enjoy supporting your child with home learning, however, please do not hesitate to contact us if you feel your child needs support. Your child is also able to attend the free Home Learning club on a Friday lunchtime.

A list of spellings is also sent home for your child to practise and learn. Spellings will be tested on a Thursday.

PE

The children will be having PE learning on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please make sure that your child has their PE kit in school and that all items are clearly labelled. If you are unable to provide a PE kit for your child, please pop into school for a chat so that we can give support with this.

We have been very lucky to take place in the Voices Inspire this term where we have been practising an array of weather related songs to sing at the Cathedral. Today, we got the opportunity to go to Salisbury Cathedral with two other schools to sing these songs. We were fantastic! 

Term five

What a great term we have had! We have been thoroughly enjoying our swimming lessons at Five Rivers on Tuesday mornings’. We have been learning to gain water confidence, floating and different swimming strokes. 

For English, we have been reading ‘The Iron Man by Ted Hughes’. We have been learning how to describe the Iron man using noun phrases (adjective + noun) and created wanted posters to find him. Here are some of our posters;
