Our whole-school homework this week is:
Living and Learning: we’ve reached the end of the half-term. This Living and Learning statement provides an opportunity to review and reflect on the learning this half-term.
Talk to your child about what they’ve learnt about:
- Does your child know the protected characteristics?
- Can your child explain what democracy is?
What examples of manners and courtesy does your child demonstrate really well?
Reading: please make sure your child is reading on a daily basis.
Number Fact Fluency: use Numbots or Times Table Rock Stars in regular short bursts.
Talk Time
Living and Learning is the focus of this week’s Talk time and we need your help!
Which charity should our school support?
Discuss the purpose of charities and consider what charity might be important to an individual.
With your child, have a look at the list of charities below. Ask your child to consider which charity they’d like to be our chosen school charity – make sure they can express their opinions and back these up with reasons.
Below are the chosen charities that we’ll choose from:
Emmaus (pronounced em-may-us) helps people move away from homelessness by providing a home, training and work opportunities as part of a package of long-term support.
Martin House provides family-led hospice care free of charge for children and young people with life-shortening conditions.
National Deaf Children’s Society, who support deaf children with any level of hearing loss.
Woodland Trust, the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity, whose vision is a world where woods and trees thrive for people and nature.
Zarach, whose mission is to end child bed poverty, giving children the opportunity to engage at school and break the cycle of poverty.
The charities will be reviewed in class on Friday 07 November. Each class will vote for one charity which will be brought to the Junior Leadership Team who will have the final vote.
