Woodpeckers 20.11.23

Date: 17th Nov 2023 @ 8:34am

Hello Woodpeckers! We hope you had a good weekend.

Our Learning Behaviour for week beginning 20.11 will be  'Push yourself'. 

Our Value this half term is Trust.

Our words this week to listen out for are 'force'-something that causes movement and 'contact'-touching something else.

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. 

Wednesday: Trip to Sudbury to study artists. Please bring a pack lunch and arrive for 8.15 am. 

Friday:  Homework and spellings will be given out

Homework - Write some instructions. This could be to make a sandwich, how to clean your teeth etc - you choose.  This will help you with our writing we have been doing in class. Remember to include: short paragraph to hook the reader in, use a question to speak directly to the reader. What you need, What you do, closing paragraph or final tip.  Also think about:

Adverbials of time: first, then, next, after that, finally.  

Adverbials of manner: carefully, quickly- these describe how.

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.

We have enough glass jars now so thank you for bringing those in.  Date for your diary - Wed 13th Dec KS2 Christmas concert at the church 6pm.

Any questions, we're always on the playground at the end of the day- please speak to us.

Bentley School's Christian Ethos

"Know that I am with you always," Matthew 28:20 We encourage the spiritual, social, moral and cultural development of the school family by embedding Christian values into everyday life. Our vision is for all children to be confident individuals, successful learners and responsible citizens who are well equipped for future life, knowing that God is with them always.
