Home Learning

Following our survey it was revealed that:

• Spelling and jotter activities worked well & words related to current learning.
• Numeracy workbooks were not related to learning and therefore not as useful.
• Reading material should be available every day.

Therefore this term home learning will be:

• Continue Spelling & jotter activities
• Class Teachers will provide a numeracy activity related to learning each week
• All children will have some form of reading material home daily (Please return this every day for class practise)
• Other activity set by teacher (optional)

All folders must be returned before new homework is sent out!!!! Please return ASAP!!!

Reminders

• School uniform should be worn daily
• PE days – These should be recorded in class blog. Infants should wear school Polo shirt with black jogging trousers/leggings & soft shoes. Middle & Upper school should bring their kit to school and change. No jewellery should be worn

Good morning!

I have worked with Zarina over the past few years and she has been involved in many projects in St Albert’s including our Spring Fayre. I know that Zarina would be delighted to meet you for you to share some of your stories. This session will run over a morning next week. Day has to be confirmed.

Please phone the office or reply to this post if you are interested in taking part in this research.

Thank you

Karen

Zarina Ahmad is a PhD researcher at the University of Manchester in the department of Politics and the Sustainable Consumption Institute.
The research explores the sustainable food practices of Pakistani heritage women in the UK to see if mainstream policy and decisions makers are inclusive of their cultural knowledge. The research will be conducted across 2 cities Manchester and Glasgow.
The first phase of the research involves focus group sessions. The focus group discussions will explore what the food practices of British Pakistani Women ? what is their heritage and culture , and what does sustainability mean to them.

Date and Time:
To be confirmed
Venue: St Alberts Primary School

What is involved :
This is a discussion group with a max of 8 women.
The subject of the discussion is food practices, Pakistani heritage and sustainability. I’m looking for the opinion and views of everyday women so not looking for a panel of experts just people who are willing to share their opinions.

What do you need to bring? Each woman has been asked to bring along a food item, cooked or uncooked, (something that can be shared preferably but essential) which resonates or reflects their understanding of sustainability.

Thanks

Zarina
