Weekly Homework

• Maths - Given out on a Tuesday and should be handed in by Monday of the following week. Children may hand it in before then if they wish. Homework will be based around current work being taught in school. All homework must be completed in pencil. If children have any difficulties with any aspect of their homework, please encourage them to seek help from one of their teachers as soon as possible.

• Reading - Please continue to support with regular reading sessions at home. The children are expected to read at least four times a week at home. Please write comments in the ‘Home School Book’. When children read independently, they should be encouraged to fill in the record themselves.

• Spellings - They will be sent home on a Friday, and the children will be tested on them the following Thursday.

Celebrating Our Work

Ancient Egypt

This afternoon we have been using hieroglyphics to write our first name. We then scribed these into clay to make an Egyptian cartouche.

Lest We Forget

We decorated rocks with a red poppy to remember the brave men and women who have, and still do, fight in wars and help to keep us safe. Here are a few photographs of us laying our rocks along the school path.

An Afternoon of Sewing

Here we are sewing away. There was so much concentration in the room you could have heard a pin drop! The chatter at the start was, 'It's too hard, I can't do it!' After an initial few hurdles, like the regular threading of the needle and how to tie a knot in the end of the thread, the chatter quickly became, 'Oh, I get it now!' With the Christmas tunes blasting out as we worked, we had a great afternoon.
