Hello Woodpeckers, we have a busy Christmas week ahead!
Our Learning Behaviour for week beginning 11.12.23 will be all six: 'enjoying, tuning in, working hard, push yourself don't give up and improve'.
Our Value this half term is Trust.
Our words this week to listen out for are - mechanism and lever
Reminders
As we are now in the 2nd half of the Autumn term, please ensure your child has a coat every day as we try and get the children out into the fresh air, weather permitting. Also can each child have a spare pair of socks brought in on PE days please.
Monday: You all have PE Monday, so please come to school in your PE kits.
Tuesday:
Wednesday: 6pm KS2 Christmas concert at the church. Please could children arrive for 5.45pm so we can get them ready inside the church. Please do not arrive earlier as the church will not be open. We will be asking parents to wait outside until 6pm so we can makesure the children are settled and ready. We are politely requesting that children wear smart or glittery clothes (Please do not wear: sports wear, jeans, christmas jumers, trainers). Please feel welcome to wear school uniform/trousers/shoes/shirt. Thank you for helping us to make this a special evening.
Thursday: Christmas dinner - come to school in a Christmas jumper instead of school jumper (if you wish).
Friday: PTA Christmas fayre at the village hall which starts at 3pm. We will walk the children down to the hall where parents can collect them from here. Remember to buy a jar of our lovely Christmas chutney we made this week.
Homework - Grammar sheet stuck in homework book.
Reading as usual.
You will also find the logins for Times Table Rock Stars and Spelling Shed in your planners. Please do log in to these websites to practise your spellings and times tables.
Reading Giants
Please read at least 5 times and note them in your Planners. Remember, this can be reading your school reading book, reading your own books, reading a magazine/comic, listening to a story read by a grown-up, listening to a story on a device (such as a Tonie box), watching a story online/on TV (eg CBeebies Bedtime story). We are promoting a love of reading, so read what you enjoy - just remember to write it in your Planner and ask your grown-up to sign it each week. Mrs Shand will check the planners each Friday and will give you a sticker on our Reading Giants chart if you have had at least 5 reading sessions! Remember - we are working as a team to collect the most reads so if you don't read at home, your year team won't have a chance at winning the most reads across the school.
Times Tables
Another battle has been set alongside our class one. Bentley Year 3s and 4s are now competing against Woodpeckers! Come on Copdock!
Spellings - in homework books.
Any questions, we're always on the playground at the end of the day- please speak to us.
Mrs Jordan and Miss Cross
