SEAL statement 16 May

Following our encouraging SATs week for Year 6, some of our other classes are completing assessments this week and ‘I can feel proud of others‘ is the new Relationships SEAL statement.  Recognising and acknowledging the achievements and efforts of others forms part of our work on relationships.

Year 3 / 4 after-school TAG rugby starts this Tuesday – places still available!

We have some places left for the after-school TAG rugby club if you would like to take part.

Please return your form to the office or ask at the office for a new form.

Walk to School week

Around the country, it’s Walk to School week next week.  To promote the event, here’s an activity for chidren throughout school to have a go at…

Watch the walking to school video – it’s been on the site for a few months now, but have you spotted Wally?!

Children have taken home a map to mark where Wally is.  Younger children have been given a map which shows the route the stars of the video take as they walk to school.  To make it more of a challenge, older children have no route shown on their map!  Along the way, you can just about spot where Wally is, but look closely as he might be around more than once…

This should be returned by Friday 20 May.  Correct entries will be put into the hat with winners selected at random.  Good luck!

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 18  May.

I can show what I know about nocturnal animals.

In keeping with our short topic, the children need to know about nocturnal animals. They can show this any way they want but here are a few ideas:

• A poster.
• A chart showing the facts they have found out.
• Photographs of any research they have done.
• A poster completed on the computer.

There is also a second piece of homework this week which is only a bit of fun. Watch the walking to school video – it’s been on the site for a few months now, but have you spotted Wally?!

Children have taken home a map to mark where Wally is.  Year 2 children have been given a map which shows the route the stars of the video take as they walk to school.  Along the way, you can just about spot where Wally is, but look closely as he might be around more than once…

This should be returned by Friday 20 May.  Correct entries will be put into the hat with winners selected at random.  Good luck!

Around the country, it’s Walk to School week next week.  To promote the event, there are two activities for chidren throughout school to have a go at…

First, all children should complete the creative homework, due in on Wednesday 18 May 2011: I can persuade someone to walk to school.  Children could create a poster, write a newspaper article, write a poem, or an even more creative idea of their own!

Second, as a bit of fun, there’s an extra homework activity – and this one comes with a prize!  Watch the walking to school video – it’s been on the site for a few months now, but have you spotted Wally?!

Children have taken home a map to mark where Wally is.  Younger children have been given a map which shows the route the stars of the video take as they walk to school.  To make it more of a challenge, older children have no route shown on their map!  Along the way, you can just about spot where Wally is, but look closely as he might be around more than once…

This should be returned by Friday 20 May.  Correct entries will be put into the hat with winners selected at random.  Good luck!

This week’s spellings are a recap of adverbs (words used to describe verbs). The children can use these in their writing to make it more interesting. They will be tested on Friday 20 May.
