Returning from the Holiday

It has been great to see the kids again after the October break, it sounds as if everyone has had a lovely time.  It was especially nice to see all the kids skipping (literally for some of them) in to school on Wednesday morning and a visitor in the class commented on how joyful it was.

Personally I had a fantastic break in Florida and brought the kids back Mickey and Minnie ears and a pen as a souvenir from my adventures.

Spelling

We have made a start with heart Word Ninja.  Spelling will start next week.  There is a physical copy, of the letter that was emailed out at the end of last term, attached to the homework booklet. As a staff teaching group we were on training during the in-service days which re-confirmed the need to re-visit learning regularly so if you are able to do 5 minutes of spelling each night it is much more beneficial than 20mins at once.
