*Gym day is Thursday – full gym kit please.

*Half hour of gym is also done on Tuesdays – gym shoes needed.

*Water bottles need to come to school EVERY DAY. They should be full when they come in. The children can re-fill these throughout the day from our water cooler. It is too long a day and too warm a building to go without a drink so please ensure your child has a bottle with them. We don’t have an endless supply of paper cups and it is a health and safety concern, bringing this from the water cooler to class without spillage.

It has been a busy start to our new session. Primary 2 have settled well into their new bay. We have started our new topic which is the traditional tale, “The Magic Porridge Pot” and the children are looking forward to actually making some porridge. They are making puppets from the story and I am looking forward to seeing their performances as they re-tell the story. Reading books have been given out and I expect the children to practise each night. Phonics is now on its second week and we have revised lots of last year’s phonemes already. We are revising our numbers to 20 in maths and we are practising tracing, colouring and cutting out and using scissors safely. Phew…. busy, busy, busy!

Last week, the children of  Chapelhall  Primary had a visit from tha Scirnce Centre staff. They had a fun time learning all about the journey of food. Special helpers  took part in some of the activities.

We are very happy and excited to be back to school and are ready for

hard work and lots of exciting ways to learn! We have PE on Tuesday

morning and Outdoor PE on Thursday (weather permitting!) Charlie

Bear lives in our class and goes home on Fridays with the week’s

superstar for stories and hugs. Our topic for this term is ” Katie Morag

and the Tiresome Ted” and we have lots of interesting and fun lessons

to look forward to. Our homework is Phonics and Reading ( Monday

Tuesday), Maths and Reading ( Wednesday ) and Tricky Words and

Reading (Thursday). We shall keep you updated on our hard work

so please keep checking  our website!
