Aspen and Hawthorn Weekly Update – Friday 19th December
Dates for your diary:
Christmas Party Day
The children had a lovely day today for their parties. We were very impressed with their sense of fun and ability to lose gracefully!
Pneumatic Monsters
The children finished their pneumatic monsters and evaluated them. They really enjoyed making these and were proud to share them with you! You can still donate towards the cost of these if you have not done so already.
Pencil Cases
Some children’s stationery could do with topping up over the Christmas break. We have sent pencil cases home this week. If you could check through with your child, that would be great. Items that are most useful:
Whilst we are always grateful when children bring their own stationery, it is not compulsory to provide a pencil case. We will always have some stationery for children to use if they do not have their own. Please discourage your child from trading stationery – we do not allow this in school. Thank you.
Our learning this week:
English: This week, the children finished writing their instructions for ‘How to Transform a Tin Forest’. They practised using imperative (bossy) verbs, fronted adverbials (sentence starters) and accurate punctuation in their writing.
Maths: We have continued our work on multiplication and division this week, focussing on the 3 and 4 times tables. We will be tackling the 8 times table after Christmas!
Homework: Please continue with the homework routine over the holidays! It helps the children to return feeling confident with their learning.
Have a lovely Christmas break!
Miss Willey, Mrs Martin & Mrs Bridgman
