Dear Parents,
It was so lovely to welcome the children back last week and to see how well they settled into their new routines and in many cases new classrooms.

 

Seeing our new children join us in Maple class put a huge smile on my face as they came in and made new friends and developed new skills. 

I have been impressed with our new year 6 children and the way in which they have already risen to the challenges of being ‘top of the school’. I’m sure they will continue to impress us all and make Miss V proud.

 

It was really nice this week to see so many parents come to our welcome back meetings.  It is a lovely opportunity to learn the routines of the classroom and to talk to your children’s teachers.

 

On Friday we look forward to celebrating the achievements of the children with you on Friday morning in the hall at 9:10am for our celebration assembly, which you are all invited to attend. It will be really special to once again ‘Reach for the Stars’ with all of you in person.

 

I hope you have an enjoyable weekend, when it finally arrives.
 

Maple Class: 
Maple Class are being superstars this week, or should we say …. superheroes!! We are thinking all about our favourite superheroes and are even inventing our own. Reception are getting to know our class routine well and year 1 are working hard to help them. Well done Maple Class!
 

Cedar Class:
Cedar are doing really well settling into their roles as new year 2’s and 3’s. There have been brilliant role models of behaviour and friendship. This week we are focussing on writing a story based on an animal, and children brought in teddies or toys from home for inspiration. It was lovely to see their excitement as they shared a bit of their home selves with the class. Great work everyone!
 

Damson Class:
Damson have carried on their rich vein of form, continuing with great behaviour, excellent standards and real kindness about them. Our work around dialogue within the context of the Jungle book has been brilliant and provided some very rich work. This week we begin our science units relating to forces and sound. Keep it up Damson Class.
 

Oak Class:
This week in Oak Class we have been calculating with addition in different ways and converted between fractions and decimals. In literacy we have compared texts and empathised with characters. We spent time getting to know our buddies in reception and have sketched portraits of Winston Churchill.
