Welcome back! 

I hope you had a lovely break full of fun and adventures! Our exciting new topic this term is ‘What lies beneath’. This week in class we will take part in E.P.I.C planning (Everyone Plans In Class) where the children will guide our learning by sharing their ideas, questions and interests.

Please ensure that your child comes to school each day with a water bottle, coat, sun hat and sun cream. Children are welcome to bring fruit in to school to eat during morning play.

PE 

PE will take place every Monday and Wednesday. Please ensure that all children wear appropriate clothing and footwear to school on these days.

Reading 

Pupils each have designated reading days. You will be texted your child’s reading day via Teachers2Parents app. On your child’s reading day they will read their book to the class teacher/TA who will then change their book(s) if it is appropriate. Please ensure that your child’s reading book(s) and red reading diary record is in their bag on their reading day. It is important to fill out your child’s reading record as this is a good way to track reading progress and inform us of any difficulties or achievements your child has made whilst reading at home. Please note that if your child is unsure whilst reading a book it may be re-sent home in order to develop confidence and fluency. Reading at home with your child is extremely important. You do not have to read the books in 1 sitting, little but often is great.

Homework/Spelling

You will find homework and spellings below by clicking on the ‘Homework’ tab. New spelling words are uploaded each Friday. Please ensure that the children learn these words throughout the week, the children will then have a mini spelling test on Friday morning the following week. You will be texted next week to let you know what group your child will be in for spelling. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or even to share special news and achievements on FrancisN19@hwbcymru.net or catch me at the start/end of the school day. 

Many thanks,

Miss Francis
