It has been a busy week, so I would like the focus to be on reading. I am so pleased that all the children have an enjoyment for reading. They are excited to read in school and are enjoying their reading challenge. Please keep it up. Just a reminder it is one box per day.

Reading Challenge

The children are excited to start the reading challenge just a reminder it is one box per day. This will enciuarge the children to read regulary and it will help develop their fluency.

The QR codes are great too there are videos to help your child practise their sounds, If you need the code again let me know.

Lenten Boxes

In the lead up to Lent, we have been thinking about how we can support others in our local community. It has become an Our Lady’s tradition to make and swap Lenten boxes. This year, each Year 1 child will make a Lenten box that they will give to their buddy in Year 4. Year 4 will also be making a Lenten box for Year 1.

We kindly ask that these boxes are made during the half term break and brought back to school by Wednesday 21st February. Year 1 have brought home a note today in their reading folders to give them some ideas for decorating the Lenten box for their buddy.

Once swapped, these Lenten boxes can be used to collect donations for acts of kindness.

Have a lovely half term break

I would like you to focus on reading and spellings this week, it makes a huge difference if you can read regularly at home. The children are becoming more confident recognising their sounds. You can watch the RWI videos that are in your child’s reading folders, email me if you need the QR codes again. This will help them consolidate their sounds and then they can apply their knowledge when they are reading, you can play games like can you find any words with the ‘ay’ sound in your book etc. This extra reading will help them become speedy readers.

Assembly (ongoing)

We have enjoyed watching the assemblies this half term, ours will be on Thursday 16th November. I asked the children what they would like their assembly to be about and they said Mary Seacole. We have loved learning about her and are excited to share our knowledge with the whole school. I have sent home lines for you to practise over the holidays, I have highlighted their part and put the line before so they know when it will be their turn to speak.

Please can you also practise the song ‘He’s got the Whole World in his Hands’ we have been singing this in class with actions and I will put a link below to practise at home:
