Monday 12th January

Welcome to our blog. The children had a good first four days back. They really enjoyed the theatre trip on Friday and their behaviour was excellent.

Can we please remind you to send in PE kits again so we can start PE lessons again as soon as possible. Thank you.

Homework
This week we will be sending spellings and Maths homework home. We will be sending a project homework home this term on the Romans. The project will be  a little different and the children will have to complete activities using a points system. They need to choose different activities on the Romans and they will be given points each week. We will be having a homework review session every week when the children will show what they have done that week. We will explain everything to the children but feel free to come in and ask any details.

In RE this week we will be continuing with our new topic JOURNEYS.  The children will be learning about a church year and the special events in the year. They will also be thinking about the meaning of our school mission statement, ‘To love and serve as Jesus shows us.’
