Hello all!
I hope you all had a well-rested
half term break.
Home learning: I did set an ‘extreme reading’ task for over the
half term. Thank you to the children who completed this. There will be a whole
class display made from these and I would hate for a child to miss out on being
part of that. If you could bring in the picture of the extreme reading next
week that would be great. Thank you.
This week
Maths - Doubling and halving
numbers up to 100 using partitioning; understanding fractions and fractions of
numbers.

we have been reading and working from Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox. The
children have really enjoyed reading this story so far and produced some great
pieces of work so far.

knew about Christianity, had a class discussion about different aspects of Christianity
and noted our ideas.

Miss Davis before Monday 12th November.
Sharing Assembly
The Sharing Assembly that was
scheduled to take place on October 22nd will now take place on November 12th.
If your child is taking part they will be bringing home a letter to inform you.
Anti-Bullying Week
Next week is Anti – Bullying Week.
We think this is an important topic to cover with the children and we have
already covered aspects of it during our ‘Celebrating Differences’ week. The
theme for this year is to choose respect over bullying.
For the first day of anti-bullying
week, which is November 12th, we would like the children to wear odd socks to
school for ‘Odd Socks Day’ which the
anti- bullying alliance like to hold to help the children remember the
importance of not bullying.
Children in Need
Friday we are celebrating Children in Need as a school. The
children are invited to bring in their favourite teddy (or stuffed toy) as well
as coming into school in non-uniform. A minimum of a £1 donation is required.
CAKE SALE Friday 16th November. All money raised at this
event will be sent to the ‘Children in Need’ appeal. If you could please, bring
your cakes, bakes & biscuits to school on Thursday 15th and Friday 16th
November for our GIANT PUDSEY CAKE SALE in the school hall after school.
