This week we will be talking and writing about our journey to school. You could draw a map together on the way to school one morning or make a list of the things you see, to bring in to share.

Noticeboard

Flu Vaccinations will take place in school on Tuesday 8th November this week.

Thank you to all who attended parents evenings last week and for those of you that supported our fireworks event on Saturday.

Friday – Remembrance Day

• Please make sure all PE Kits are back in school after our mid term break.
• 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. 

We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.

Daily Well Being Activity Suggestions

Monday – Connect – Tell someone something different about them that you like.
Tuesday – Take Notice- watch an autumn story  After the storm
Wednesday – Be Active – Physical challenge – eg How many star jumps can you do in 10 seconds?
Thursday – Keep Learning – Choose someone different to play with today and tell us about it later

Reading:

• Read as part of a group. Look at front cover details and explore making predictions, using phonetic knowledge to decode unknown words and to extend vocabulary. Read aloud and look at increasing fluency and use discussion as a group to discuss comprehension. This will now take place during our new Monday morning Reading session.

In reading groups, continue to continue on phonic and CEW and start to implement new Phase 5 as they are taught.
