We would all like to thank you for your hard work and support and wish you and your family a very happy holiday!!
Terrific Tuesday-
Terrific Tuesday has now become Fantastic Friday but will run the same way every Friday afternoon.
During this session the children are split into 4 groups of 15. One group will go to Forest Farm for the morning and undertake a variety of outdoor activities. The other groups of children will partake in 3 activities which have a messy or creative theme- Each week the children contribute their ideas to Fantastic Friday and we ensure that we use them when planning activities for the sessions. This term we will be painting mini beast pebbles, making and baking biscuits, planting seeds and building dens.
Mrs Watts class have 4 more sessions which will beginning on Friday 23rd June.

Spelling: We follow a structured spelling scheme and the children will be encouraged to take home words every week to learn at home. We encourage them to use the following strategy: Look, Cover, Write, Check.
- The child will look at a single word
- They will cover it up and attempt to remember how it is spelt
- They will have a go at writing the word
- They will then check the accuracy of their attempts.
- Please see lists of weekly spellings below.
Games and PE
- shorts
- socks
- trainers
Sometimes lessons take place in the school hall, where children are required to be barefooted. Trainers will still need to be worn walking to and from the school hall.
