This week has been busy but also very exciting. Please read at least 4 times a week and record what you have read in the white home reading book. We started off the week by having a super PE lesson with Mr Bryan, our new PE Specialist. Little Foxes enjoyed PE on the playground and learning new skills. In Topic , we have continued to think about our mystery visitor and we have been able to begin to write a report about how fantastic yet mysterious the afternoon was , some of us even used the word ‘flabbergasted’ in some of our reports! I was Flabbergasted! It was great to see so many parents at the coffee morning this week. I am planning to book in regular visits so any questions please let me know. The Year 1 children will really enjoy teaching you how to ‘fred and blend’ words! Please come and see me if you have any queries or questions regarding their phonics, I would love to help. Attendance I am continuing to set my challenge 2 weeks of 100% attendance and we can have a pyjama party. I know that next half term is the time. I just want to say a huge congratulation to those children who came to school every day this week and got 100% attendance. You are fantastic! Let’s keep this up! Home learning tasks to be Completed by 25th of February. Please remember that all home learning should be completed neatly by your child in PENCIL. Reading and Home Learning MUST be completed to earn Golden Time. This week has been Online Safety Week and in particular it was safer internet day on Monday 8th February. As a school, we focused on online gaming and explored how the children can play online safely. The children participated in a range of learning activities to help raise awareness of E- safety and equip them with advice and support that will encourage them to be responsible online. For this week’s home learning I would like the children to design their own mouse mat based on e-safety and how to stay safe online. There is a template in their home learning books.
