Please remember to send a ‘book bag’ with your child each day. Please try to drop your child at the Reception gate to minimise the amount of people inside the school grounds and near buildings, many thanks.
This week our Literacy/Topic focus learning will be based on the story, Avocado Baby. We will also be discussing similarities and differences/respecting differences as we begin to celebrate Black History Month. Our Maths focus will be patterns; identifying/creating repeating patterns, patterns in nature, clapping patterns, dance patterns, etc. Please have simple discussions about this learning with your child at home.

Library borrowing will begin this week. Reception pupils will borrow one book each Monday. Please keep this book in book bags so that we can return it the following Monday and pupils can borrow another (we will not be able to allow pupils to borrow again until their previous library book is returned). Due to the half term break, pupils can keep today’s library book until after the holidays.

Dear Parents/carers,
Please see the curriculum overviews below. Kindly have a look a the attached documents and discuss with your children what they have covered as they progress through the terms. At times, we may link subjects together for enhanced learning opportunities. Encourage your children to share what they have learnt from the overviews to enable meaningful and engaging conversations about their learning.
Dear Parent,
How do you fancy challenging friends, family or neighbours to some fun, virtual sporting activities this summer?
At national children’s charity, the Youth Sport Trust, we are determined to ensure that young people stay active and connected through this difficult time. We’ve been helping families do this with our daily #StayHomeStayActive activities since March and now we’re challenging the public to go one step further by joining us in our first ever National School Sport Week at Home, supercharged by Sky Sports.
Taking place from 20-26 June, the week will give families, communities, schools and sports clubs the opportunity to take part in a series of virtual sporting challenges which help young people capture the enjoyment, competition and camaraderie they may be missing out on and the Youth Sport Trust is delighted that Sky Sports will be helping to supercharge the campaign.
How do I find out more?
Registering couldn’t be simpler. Just go to our website www.youthsporttrust.org/nssw and click on the link for parents. You will be asked a couple of questions as you register about who you might challenge and how many people you would like to get involved.
After signing up we will provide you with free and easy-to-use resources to help plan your week of National School Sport Week at Home Activity, set challenges for your families, friends and neighbours, and shout about it online.
So, what are you waiting for? Join the growing number of people who will be running, jumping and throwing their way to glory from 20-26 June.
