What a super week we have had this week. We are so impressed with all of the work that the children have been doing both in class and at home. Well done everyone.
It was so lovely to see the children on the Zoom meeting on Wednesday and to share what they have been enjoying doing. We hope that you all enjoyed it at home as much as we did in school. We look forward to organising another for next week—same time and same place. I will send out the Zoom details in an email to you all. We are looking forward to seeing you all again.
We hope that you have enjoyed the learning this week and that you are managing OK. Thank you for all of your lovely emails and super photos. It is lovely to see all of the children’s hard work on Purple Mash and to see how they are continually trying to improve. You are such enthusiastic Bobby Bees, Lizzie Ladybirds who want to improve and Sadie Spiders who just keep on trying, Cooper Crabs who concentrate, Curious Clara Clownfish who are great at asking and answering questions, brave have a go Tommy Turtles and Creative Kiki Chameleons. On top of all that you must also be Co-operative Roger Robins because you are getting your work done. Well done everyone. Keep up the good work. Don’t forget to say a great big “thank you” to your lovely parents who are helping you everyday to do all of your fantastic work. (Can you think of something a little bit special that you can do to say thank you to them?)
Let’s Celebrate:
The children both at home and in school have continued to work really hard and to make us so proud with their creativity and focus. We are loving looking at all of the wonderful learning that is taking place at home and how children are really engaging with the videos, lessons and Purple Mash. Well done everyone. Thank you parents for all of your support and hard work too. This week, we just could not decide between quite a few learners at home and so we have decided to be incredibly cheeky and give not 1, not 2 but 3 home learning certificates this week as well as a certificate for a school learner. Well... we just could not decide who to choose and we did not want to wait until next week. So here goes: Our home learning certificates go to Millie, Angel and Max this week and our school certificate goes to Leo. Millie receives a concentrating Cooper Crab because she is so focused on her work and gets everything done. You are also so enthusiastic Millie. Well done, we are so impressed with all of your lovely work. Angel gets an Enthusiastic Bobby Bee certificate because he is just bubbling with enthusiasm at the moment. We are loving how you are engaging with everything and even trying hard to encourage others as well with your enthusiasm. Well done Angel—keep up this wonderful attitude. Max you are getting a Creative Kiki Chameleon certificate for your amazing animation. Wow!! We were all so impressed with this in school. We hope everyone at home enjoys it too. Make sure that you have a look at all of the animations that Miss Edmondson has posted. Max you have also been such a Bobby Bee too and your work is always super. Amazing handwriting too—well done. In school our certificate goes to Leo. Leo gets an Enthusiastic Bobby Bee certificate because he is so enthusiastic about doing all of his work. You are being so enthusiastic with your reading too Leo. We are really impressed with your efforts to reach your new (huge) reading target. Keep up the good work Leo. Well done.
More reasons to celebrate - we hope that you enjoy this week’s photo movie.
IXL success

Just look at the photo of the Rainbow - well done to those who are climbing up it. Rosa you are soooo close with 92.3%. I know you will do it by next week. Well done everyone!
Things to Note:
Please make sure that your child has layers on during this cold weather. We need to have doors and windows open for ventilation and so the classroom is really cold at times. Thank you.
Don’t forget that if your child is learning at home, they can take reading quizzes from home again (Go to the orange “How to Help your Child” on the class page and scroll down to find the Accelerated Reader button—click on this, log on and take a quiz as you would in school). Please do try to have a go at quizzing if you have not managed to do this yet.
Please check your emails about our next Zoom meeting that we are organising for next Wednesday 3rd February at 9:15am. Please remember that by accepting the invitation to join the meeting you are agreeing to accept the guidance. For this Zoom meeting we would like the children to find their best work to show the rest of the class and to say why they are proud of themselves. Please have this ready and have a think what you are going to say. Can we remind everyone at home that they should not be sending messages to each other whilst we are on Zoom meeting please. Thank you.
Thank you for all of your support and co-operation this week. We really do appreciate all that you are doing to help the children with their learning at home and for all of the emails and photos that you have sent to us this week. We are so proud of the children and we want them to continue their learning journey no matter whether they are at home or school.
Please do continue to email us and keep in contact. We are here to help where we can and to keep the children learning.
Take care and stay safe
