WE ARE COLLECTING

Sainsburys and Tescos have launched their annual voucher collecting scheme, we are participating in both of these schemes. Vouchers collected in previous years have helped us to obtain some exciting resources. Please collect as many vouchers as you can and do not be afraid to ask your friends, neighbours, work colleagues for their vouchers as well. Many people who do not have children simply discard these vouchers and we could make valuable use of them. Collecting boxes are by the school office.

Home Learning with SWGfL Merlin?

Can your child share with you some work they have been doing within SWGfL Merlin recently? Perhaps they have written an article for Merlin Times our Online School Newspaper or have created some work in PurpleMash? Alternatively, they may have explored EducationCity.com or Mathletics? Why not spend some time at the computer with them and see what wonderful resources lie behind the login screen of SWGfL Merlin.

Welcome back

Welcome back to a new half term.

The children are settling down nicely again and there is some good learning happening.
In sounds and letters we are tackling sh ch th ng these are very tricky sounds as some sound so similar and form at the front of the mouth. Please practice these at home and find words that begin or end with these sounds. When I teach th I always say stick your tongue out and be a clown!

We are also working hard on cursive writing as discussed at parents evening please keep this up.

I have set the children a chellenege to find cube and cuboid shapes in the environment. These could be buildings, the park, or food boxes in Tesco. I have asked  them to take pictures of these shapes  to bring in or post on merlin. Please help us with this project. Thank you.
