Thank you for your bulb donations.
They were planted on Friday in our outside area so we hope fully will have a colourful Spring display.
Thank you for attending parents evening after a long 8 week term. I feel the children have settled in well to the school routine and have begun their learning marathon.
We change the children's sheets/books on a Monday. Please write one comment per week in the reading record just to let us know how they got on. My examples are:
Great reading.

Hello what another beautiful week of Autumn weather. We have been out collecting leaves for our observational drawings.
Please can you send in donations of bulbs for the new Netherthong Spring garden.
What a lovely tribute to the school your child will have knowing that they planted a bulb.
We are planting them on Friday 25th.......
We have started our subitising 123,s seeing these patterns in and around school.
We have now learnt 25 sounds v y w z x this week. Next week digraphs

Please make sure you child is confident with all the single sounds. I can see the joy in their faces when they know them.
We have learnt more about the brain and how practise makes things a lot easier and they the brain sometimes needs a rest.
Here are a few highlights.

We have been talking about the brain and making the right choice and how to solve a conflict.

Please let me know if you can't access Teams all the passwords are written in your child reading record if you don't have it which we will give out at parents evening.
On Friday last week we also had fun meeting our buddies for the first time. A Y 3 and Y 6. We plan to do small sessions with them throughout the year such as reading books and playing sports games set up bu Y6. This is a lovely way to support the children with extra nurturing opportunities for the older children and the younger ones feeling they can go to them.
Thank you for your support.
