  • Spring home learning

    Published 16/01/26, by Jen Steele

    We've had some wonderful pictures sent in for our spring home learning already! We are also celebrating that a lot more children did 4 or more reads at home this week. Please remember this is the schools target and is what has been shown to make the biggest difference in your child's reading progress and enjoyment. You are always welcome to borrow books from the classroom as well.

    Madison has been playing Bluey shopping game with her Dad and showed great turn taking and sharing skills! She also made a princess out of recycled materials!

     

    Hunter made an incredible rocket out of recycled materials and did a great job of explaining how he did it to his class!

    Leen has been learning how to measure at home using a tape measure. 

    Imaani got creative with and recycled an old box and made some mountains!

    A huge well done to all our wonderful children. 

    They truly are stars and in the words of my favourite song 'oh how proud we are!'

    We appreciate understanding on the problems we had with sound but it didn't detract from the incredible performances all these wonderful children put on!

    Thank you for support from home as well in helping the children learn their lines and practising the songs!

  • Book bags

    Published 05/12/25, by Jen Steele

    We are having a big push on book bags in school. 

    Please help by sending your child to school with their book bag every day and writing in their reading records when they read at home. Four times a week is the school expectation as this is proven to make the biggest difference to reading progress. 

    Well done to Orange group because we had all but one book bag in today so almost everybody could get a new book! 

    The reads are being given to Mr Smith at the end of next week for the Autumn term reading mileage badges so there is still time to get up to 40 reads!
