Snacks at Breaktimes and Before ECAs

We are noticing a number of students with unhealthy snacks at playtimes. Please ensure that all snacks are healthy - no sweets or junk food allowed.

Possible ideas for snacks you may include: dried and fresh fruit; bread sticks; rice crackers; sandwiches; sticky rice. 

Thank you for your support with this.

ATK testing

Remember to submit your child's ATK testing before coming to school on Monday. Please refer to the email from school for further details.

Learning

PE - Try a new sport

The first 2 weeks back (Monday 10^th January – Friday 21^st January ) Students will take part in “Try a New Sport“ weeks, where they will be able to choose from a range of activities that they may not have tried before.

Please can all students wear PE kit to school as usual (including hat and water bottle) and bring swim kit just in case they want to choose a water-based activity.

Unit 2b will start the following week, from Monday 24^th January (see below).

Important note! All students will require Football boots for their Teeball lesson week beginning 24^th January 2022. . Please ensure you have correct fitting boots before their first Teeball lesson.

Home Learning and Class Blogs

There will be no home learning set over the holidays, however students are welcome to use Mathletics and we would love to see some reading journals updated - these can be shared with their teachers whenever they are updated. We do ask that the children read for 30 minutes each day whenever possible.

 Here is the link directly to the Year 6 blogs.

Global Citizenship

Events In The World

If you would like your child to be aware of world news and events but find it too overwhelming, have a look at Newsround for a more age appropriate version of current events.

You can also access First News and The Week along with a wide selection of other magazines in our Primary Library. Being aware of current events really will help your child to make connections with a range of themes when reading in class.

• Please agree a time with the teacher in advance.
• Children will be expected to eat any birthday treats in their classroom.
• Unfortunately, parents can not join in the celebrations.
