Weekly Blog, Homework & Spellings ~ 14.3.22

Blog & Homework for week commencing 14th of March
 
Hello everyone,
I hope this week's blog finds you well. Firstly I'd like to say a big thank you for your parent support in completing the reading challenge homework. The quality of presentation and the effort that went in to doing something practical was outstanding. I have learned how to make lots of new recipes and admittedly had some food envy over the cakes I saw! Well done everyone and I can't wait to see what comes in today.
 
** For those who are currently home learning, I will add subject work to Google Classroom on a daily basis. This can be found under Home Learning 14.3.22. Thanks.
 
CELEBRATIONS
Our Star of the Week certificate goes to Harvey Robinson for your improvement in handwriting magnificent maths work - keep it up!
 
PE       ** Please note, there will be no swimming this Tuesday and we will keep you up to date with PE as the week progresses.
 
Our swimming session takes place on Tuesday. Children should bring a bag with their costume and towel. They can bring goggles, a swimming hat and a brush if they wish. 
 
PE will continue on a Friday morning so please send your child in a PE kit as usual on this day.
 
In line with our Covid-19 Risk Assessment, we are asking children to come into school in their outdoor PE kit on the day of their PE lesson. Children should wear black joggers or leggings or as the weather gets warmer, children may wish to wear their purple shorts, their white PE t-shirt, purple school jumper and trainers. Please make sure that your child also has a named water bottle in school. 
 
 
Homework Overview
 
Google Classroom ~ Please go to Spring Term (2) on Willow Classroom for instructions on this week's task. 
 
Spellings ~ Go to Spelling Frame for this week's spellings. Complete at least 2 games and a test. Spellings will be tested on a Monday morning. Some spelling lists will be repeated where scores need improved and lists from previous year groups will be set where there is a need.
 
Times Tables Rockstars ~ Jump on to TTRS to build up fluency on your times tables.
 
Reading ~ Please take time to read your Guided Reading Books. Record what you have read in your record and please bring these books back into school each day. It's great to see that Bug Club is still being used.
 
 
 TOP TIPS FOR HOMEWORK...
~ Little and often...and not last minute! Give yourself enough time to complete homework tasks. Why not get as much done through the week so you can have the weekend off : )
~ Be comfortable...make sure you work in a comfortable space, perhaps with a drink and snack.
~ Have little screen breaks to keep your eyes healthy and happy!
 
If for any reason, on any week, you have any issues with homework, please just let me know. Children have been sent home with all passwords they will need for now. Please keep them all in a safe place.
 
 
I think that's all for now. If you have any queries or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on:
