Noticeboard

• ADVANCE WARNING:
• On Monday 14th February (Last week of term) we are going to celebrate our learning so far in our new topic of Our World. We are asking the children to think of a word that they would like to represent with dressing up. It could be a country name, a symbol of one of the countries form the UK, an adjective, a type of weather, the sea, earth, properties of materials, fairytales etc. There really are no limits. See below for some examples. They need to have the word written as part of their costume. They could also include a simplified definition of their word – a great opportunity to use a dictionary!

• You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions. 
• Check your emails to find out about the new White Rose Free App to help support your child’s learning for their Maths. This has been developed by the scheme of Maths we follow and so uses the same methods and resources.
• We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.

A link to plans and resources if you are needing to self-isolate can be accessed HERE.
