Tennis Coaching

We have one more session of tennis this half term and next week will also be the last tennis club session.

Christmas Parties

Next week, we will be asking the children which party food item they would like to bring to the Christmas party on Friday 19^th. We have attached the list below in case you want to discuss this in advance with your child so that they pick something you are happy to provide!

DT Project

We are in the process of designing and making a pneumatic monster toy with the children. For this, we are asking for a donation of £1 towards the cost of the pneumatic system. This can be paid via the Gateway App.

Year 3 Sing-a-long

On Tuesday 9th December, Year 3 will be performing their annual Christmas Sing-a-long. For this, we have learnt some songs. Each child may have two adult guests for the Sing-a-long (toddlers will need to sit on laps please). Siblings who are in school will attend the rehearsal on Monday 8th. We will register guests as you come into school. This will be in the school hall from 9:10 until around 9:40. Please drop your child off as normal and then wait outside the front entrance of the school until it is time for us to start. There will be mince pies!

Children are allowed to wear Christmas jumpers/tops on top of their usual school uniform for this event.

Our Learning this week:

English: The children have been learning about verbs this week in the context of the book ‘The Tin Forest’.

Maths: We have continued our work on multiplication this week.

Science: The children continued their work on magnets this week and thought about why certain magnets are stronger than others. They also completed a bar graph to show magnet strength.

Homework: Please continue to support your child with their homework:

Each week, they should be completing:

• TTRS – 15minutes on ‘Garage’
• 10 games on Spelling Shed
• Reading – 5x per week

Thank you, Miss Willey, Mrs Martin & Mrs Bridgman
