Homework and spellings for half term.
|
These spellings are some of the high frequency words, for KS1, that the children need to use accurately when writing. Please practise with your child so that they can use them with confidence. We will have a spelling test on the Thursday, as we return from half term, and will randomly choose some of these words. |

Infant Christmas party.
School Games Event.
Whale and Dolphin classes took part in a football tournament recently; where they played each other within their houses. They had lots of fun and conducted themselves in a sportsman-like manner. They cheered and celebrated each other's successes and everyone took part.
It was a closely fought tournament but the eventual winners were:
Burrell girls and Landon boys.
Very well done to everyone.

We are gentle and kind.
We are good at listening to each other.
We use quiet voices in the classroom.
We walk through the class and corridors.
We sit nicely at carpet time (hands in our laps).
We always try our best!
