Homework Reminder

Welcome back to school. Here are some reminders of our routines in Base 3 and 4.

Homework – all log in details will be available in the back of reading diaries.

Reading – we would ideally like you to listen to your children read 3 times a week. Children have the opportunity to win ‘reader of the week’ each week for their efforts in reading.

Spellings – spellings will be sent home on a weekly basis and the children will be tested on a Friday.

Maths Homework – every week, children should spend a minimum of 15 minutes on Numbots. If they would also like to play on Times Table Rockstars, they can do.

Homework Projects – these are set at termly and the children will be given more details about this towards the end of the Spring term.

Physical Education – children will wear their P.E kits to school on their P.E days so will not need to be in uniform.

Indoor P.E – Wednesday

Outdoor P.E – Thursday

If you have any questions, please ask your class teacher.

Parent DEAR Time Sessions

During the autumn term we held DEAR time sessions (Drop Everything And Read) for you to come into school and read with your children. Due to the success of these and how much the children enjoyed it, we will be holding DEAR time open door sessions again in the spring term for you to come into school and spend some relaxed time with your child at the end of the school day and either listen to them read, read to them or even read together.

Each session will take place between 2:55pm and 3:15pm.

Please see the dates below for when your child’s year group will be holding their DEAR time open door session.

DEAR Time with Base 3

Last week Base 3 enjoyed reading with their grown ups during DEAR Time. It was so special for the children to share their love of books with people from home.

West Midlands Safari Park

What a fantastic day Base 3 have had at West Midlands Safari Park! We saw a range of animals and talked about which one were carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. The children behaved beautifully and were well mannered to the public. What super stars ⭐️

Santa Dash Friday 9th December

Friday 9th December the whole school will be taking part in a Christmas themed assault course. All children will need to make sure they are in PE kits and have suitable footwear on so they can take part. Santa Dash 22 Primary Timetable.

If children have Christmas hats then please get involved and bring them along.

Monday – West Midlands Safari Park Visit

This is a reminder about our trip on Monday 5th December to West Midlands Safari Park.

Children will need to bring a rucksack with their packed lunch, unless they have ordered one from school, and their water bottle. They must also wear sensible footwear and a warm, waterproof coat.

We will be back before the end of the school day.

Thank you,

Miss Gilbert and Miss Craig
