Oh my gosh Class 1, how quick did that week go? If I would have blinked I would have missed it! However, as the saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun!
It has been a very busy week, yet it has been filled with fun and laughter. We have played English and Maths games, wrote about our summer holidays, took part in music, science (I apologise if your child is now obsessed with acorns!) and IT lessons. We have explored the classroom and learnt a little bit about hockey in our PE lessons.
The children have worked very hard and it has been lovely getting to know you all.
Just a few house keeping bits and bobs:
The blog is your one stop for all information regarding Class 1 and events taking place in school
Homework
I will set homework on a Friday using the class blog; generally these will be online educational games. However, if I pop anything in their book bags I will provide all of the details on here.
Spelling
Each week I will pop a spelling list in the children’s bags on a Friday afternoon (all though I have failed dramatically today as I am currently looking at the pile on my desk, I will send them on Monday, sorry!) .As well as the hard copy I have posted a game on Purple Mash that the children can use to practice. I have put their logging details inside the front cover of their reading logs.
PE
PE will take place on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday indoor and Wednesday outdoor (weather permitting), please send your child into school wearing their PE kit as per the school PE policy.

Request
In RW this term we will be exploring the theme of; ‘Who belongs?’ To support this learning we would love for the children to bring in any items linked to them being a part of a group e.g. sport kit, rainbow or cubs items, photographs of them taking part in any out of school clubs on Thursday 12th September.
Have a great weekend!
Mr Mallison
