The week in review

We have continued to work on our book, ‘Lost in the Toy Museum’ We have selected a character and shared more information about them.

In humanities, we have looked at toys around the world.

In maths, we have been using a number line to find answers to a question.

Discovery learning has seen us exploring the places where we will have discovery learning and this will be on a three-week rotation.

In Art, we have added detail to our self portraits using colour and oil pastels.

Homework

Talk Time: Our weekly talk time helps develop an oracy skill. This week, we have focused on description. Our sentence stems start with It feels… It looks…. It moves….

Reading: We will collect books in each Sunday and give out new ones. Please keep books in your child’s bag so we can read with them in school. Reading should be recorded at home in the PO each day.

Phonics: The e-e i-e o-e. We looked at the words from, help, back, animals, will, this, that, then, them, with, went, children, just, off. You will receive an activity in your child’s homework book to support phonics each Monday and it is due in on a Sunday.

Maths: https://whiteroseeducation.com/1-minute-maths#download This app helps children build greater number confidence and fluency. It’s all about targeted practice in engaging, one-minute chunks! When you have done this each week with your child please make a note in your child’s PO.

Any other Notices

Now books are being sent home, and we are trying to establish routines, children should be reading at home every day. This should be recorded in their PO.

Please can children bring in the toy they brought in to discuss on our second week from Sunday next week? It shouldn’t be a teddy or bigger than your hand.

Blue slips are in all personal organisers - please learn to read the words listed so children can be given their next set of personalised words.

Absences

Swimming Kit

Please can we request that all children come to school on the day of their swimming lessons with the following equipment:

Swim Uniform in accordance with guidelines.
Swim hats for those with long hair. ALL hats must be secure on the head with no risk of slipping down over the face.
Goggles
Towel
Pool shoes (crocs or equivalent)
A waterproof bag to carry everything in.

Please see our Swimwear Guidelines on the website.

Please do not wear 'swim uniform' into school for hygiene reasons. Please do not wear an alternative gym or running kit for swimming lessons. It's important to use only 'Swim Uniform' and the recommendations listed above in the pool, as other fabrics become incredibly heavy when wet.

WhatsApp Groups

We have created WhatsApp groups for parents to know about urgent messages or reminders. Email will continue to be the main form of communication. Please see our BSM WhatsApp Groups Document for all the links. Please read the code of conduct carefully before joining any BSM WhatsApp groups.
