Good afternoon Elm!

In our phonics sessions this week, we have been revisiting some of the phonemes that you will have learnt during the remote learning period and our weekly spellings reflect this.  This means that you might have learnt some of these words before.

The spellings for this week are:-

• find
• pint
• mind
• gold
• hold
• don’t
• lady
• bagel
• angel
• apron

These spellings will be tested on Friday 23rd April.

They are called ‘Alternative Pronunciations’ on Spelling Shed.

I shall also be looking at the leader board on Friday morning and rewarding the top 3 on it with Dojo points.  Everyone who goes on Spelling Shed will receive a Dojo.

For this week’s homework, we would like the children to design a new invention/innovation – it could be a machine, product or a service which could help your family, school or even make the world a better place.

• Draw and explain your invention on a poster – either A4 or A3 paper.
• You can use crayons, paint, craft materials such as pipe cleaners, wool, string, beads, pompoms etc.
• You can also include pop-ups and tabs if you want to.

There will be a prize for the best entry in each class (judged by your teachers).

The winning entries will also be photographed by Mrs Lakes and sent into the British Science Week poster competition.

Homework is to be handed in Monday 29th March.

Happy designing!

Miss Baggott and Mrs Bagshaw 🙂

Miss Baggott and I have decided not to set any homework as we believe the children have endured enough settling back into school life and getting back into routine!

Enjoy the week off and we shall set homework next Wednesday (17.03.21) to be handed in the following Monday (22.03.21).

Well done Elm!

We were 1st in the whole school for spelling practise!

Special mention should go to Millie, Joelyn, Jessica C, Artis, Ruby M, Darcey and Ember who have been on every day this week (Monday to Thursday).  I am super impressed with how much practice you do.

I would also like to say a massive ‘Thank you’ to all the parents and carers for all your support with the practising of the spellings – you are amazing!

Here is the Elm leaderboard:-

• 1st –   Millie (10 dojo points)
• 2nd –  Ruby (5 dojo points)
• 3rd –   Ember (3 dojo points)

Stay safe!

Mrs Bagshaw 🙂

Wow! I am so impressed that so many of you have been on Numbots this week and playing the games to help with the fast recall of number facts.  Special mention goes to Jessica C, Artis and Ember who have been on every day this week (Monday to Thursday)!

Well done to all the parents and carers for all their support with Numbots – you rock!

I have awarded certificates to the Top 3 players this week – that is those children who have played the most minutes in the last 7 days.  They are:-

1st Place (10 dojos) – Artis

2nd Place (5 dojos) – Carson

3rd Place (3 dojos) – Ruby M

Stay safe,

Mrs Bagshaw 🙂

As most of you are probably aware, all children are to return to school on Monday 8th March 2021. I am so excited to see you all and welcome you back to the classroom!

This should be an exciting time but some children may feel a little nervous or worried about returning back to school as they haven’t been in the building for quite some time.

Mrs Corke, one of our wonderful TA’s in year one, has found this PowerPoint about returning back to school after lockdown.  You may wish to share this with your child and discuss how they are feeling about returning to school.

• Return to School Post Lockdown
