Optional Homework

Year 3 Children,

 

If you have some time at home warming up from the wintry weather, you could create a fabulous fact file about our Animal Man visit.

You could focus on carnivores, omnivores and herbivores, thinking about the teeth and eye positions.

You might also want to research some of the gorgeous creatures in more detail.

We saw all sorts including:

  • wild boar, tiger and badger skulls
  • megalodon teeth
  • tree frogs and bull frogs
  • cockroaches
  • boa constrictors
  • leopard geckos
  • hedgehogs
  • chinchillas

You could present your work however you please!

 

Enjoy!

Year 1 this afternoon

Hello all,

We hope you all get home safely and get back home in the warm!

If you would like some activities to complete while your child is off school, please complete the following:

– Use ‘Fred talk’ to read phonics books aloud to an adult (don’t forget to write in their diaries)

– Practise spelling their ‘Jumping Orange Words’ for this half term in reading diaries. Focus on beautiful handwriting.

This afternoon we would have been covering PE, Arithmetic and Storytime.

For arithmetic you could practise counting in 2s, 5s and 10s (you could make this as practical as possible!) and use Hit the Button to practise your number bonds to 10 and 20 https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

For PE you could try cosmic yoga http://Joybob The Polar Bear | A Cosmic Kids Yoga Adventure! – YouTube  or  go for a snowy  walk  with  an adult (make sure your dress appropriately to stay warm and dry).

Take care and we look forward to hearing all the children’s snow stories when they return!

Many thanks,

Year 1 team

Year 2 Snow afternoon at home!

Hi all, what a beautiful sight it is with all the snow!

This afternoon please can the children read, practise their spellings, do some timetables.

If you want to perhaps they could write a short descriptive paragraph about how the snow has fallen, covered the ground and sent us all home. We’d love to see these when we get back 

Example –

SCHOOL IS SHUT!

It was a bitterly white morning. Crisp, pearly white snow covered the ground like a baby’s blanket. The fuzzy, vast sky stretched out for miles. Everyone arrived at school wrapped up warm but the soft snow was cascading to the ground. During the morning the soft fell rapidly to the ground so the children could not go out to play. The playground was like a sheet of white paper. All the children sighed with sadness because they had to stay inside. All of a sudden a huge announcement was made. School was closing early. The children cheered in excitement.

 

Have a good afternoon in the snow, have lots of fun and please send us in photos if you manage to get out this afternoon.

Year 6 Thursday afternoon

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your cooperation this afternoon.

At home, the children can continue to work on their homework (we have given them their homework for next week as well). They could also access TTRS and Read Theory.

Below is a website which is great for the children to practice their Arithmetic. It will automatically mark and generate a score for the children.

Thank you,

The Year 6 team.

SEND Provision

Telford and Wrekin Local Authority have recently been contacted by OFSTED and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to say that they will be visiting our area to inspect the local arrangements for children and young people with special education needs and disabilities (SEND) between 16 – 24 March 2023. This joint inspection will consider education and care council services, schools, early years providers, post 16 settings and health providers.

If you have a child with SEND, have your say on the support that they receive within Telford and Wrekin by completing the following survey:

Weather update

Morning! ❄️
The weather forecast is still varied depending on which site you look at. We are now making the decision to cancel all after school provision for today. This includes all Crossbar, nursery/school after school club and the Tophat drama club. All teacher led clubs are also cancelled. Parents evening appointments today will be via telephone or will be postponed. Your child’s teacher will let you know. We are still monitoring the situation carefully and will update on a regular basis.
Kind regards
Miss Cook

Water Safety

On Monday, our children learnt all about the importance of water safety from three search and rescue volunteers. Members of the West Mercia Search and Rescue delivered assemblies to teach the children about their role and of the importance of keeping safe near water. They also showed the children their special rescue equipment including their rescue boats.

To find out more about water safety, please can you…

Ask your child what position they should get into if they find themselves getting into difficulty in water (a starfish)

Ask your child what they should do if they see someone in difficulty in water (call for help, do not enter the water, talk to the person to reassure them, use a throw line if confident).

Children were reminded about the importance of staying away from water, unless in a controlled environment, such as a swimming session with adults present.

For more information about water safety, including the option of completing an online course, please visit: https://westmerciasar.org.uk/ or https://www.facebook.com/wmsar/?locale=en_GB

Volunteers Nature Walk

Hi all,

Year 1 have our half termly nature walk coming up on Wednesday 22nd March.
We will be walking roughly 2 miles along the paths around school looking for signs of spring (flowers, birds’ nests, leaves on trees, etc.).

We will be leaving school at 13:20 and returning at 14:45 and would love to take 2 volunteers per class to help us spot seasonal changes!

If you would like to volunteer, and are available, please can you send us an email or write in your child’s reading diary.

Many thanks,

Year 1 team :)
