Homework

2 Comments

Today we began to work in our literacy groups. Our aim is to eventually work independently, this will take some work but we will get there. The children have new literacy groups and today I have been practicing reading with some of the groups from their new reading books on bug club. If you have any issues with accessing bug club from home please contact me and I will make appropriate arrangements for your child.

Our literacy groups are:

Book Bandits – who are reading Bug Boy: Beetle Cookies

Page Pirates – who are reading Herb the Spinning Hamster

Word Wizards – who are reading Yak’s Pants

Sound Stars – who are reading It’s a Din!

We are practicing the sounds ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ in class this week and we have some spelling words to go along with this. We will practice these in class this week and begin to send spelling words home for homework next week.

Could I please ask that all snacks for playtime are placed into school bags and not lunch bags. As we are now using the lunch hall we are separated from our lunch bags first thing in the morning so it is easier if snacks are in school bags. Thank you!

I have not sent yellow diaries home today as it became apparent yesterday that I do not have all of the diaries from last year. I will rectify this soon and begin to issue these properly.

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Today the class watched their first virtual assembly where Mrs Mckee spoke to us via Teams and reminded us of the school values. We also wrote about our weekend and listened to each other as the last of the class told us all about them. Thank you for your help with the all about me bags, the children have enjoyed talking to their class and we have enjoyed learning about each other.

Some of you may have noticed that your child has been assigned a bug club book. Please do not start this with them until tomorrow as I have not spent any time on class on this yet. Any forgotten passwords can be retrieved from me in class.

I gave the class out their yellow diaries today which we will use for communication throughout the year. Please feel free to write anything you wish to tell me in this book, I aim to look at them daily but this may not always be possible. Anything that you feel is urgent can be communicated through the school office.

Have a great week

Mrs MacNee

Hello! What a great first week we have had in school. It has been great getting to know everyone and a delight to watch the children make friends.

I will post any information and homework on our class blog so please keep an eye out. Gym days are still to be confirmed but the children have been going outside most days.

The children will receive their yellow diaries on Monday. If you have any questions or concerns then please write in it and I will get back to you as soon as possible. These should be brought to school every day.

Could I please ask that all school items have your child’s name on them.

Thank you,

Mrs MacNee and Mrs Smith.
