1 Maths - Students have either a maths task
or their maths book to bring home.
Reading – browsing books will again come
home on Monday for the week. These can be recorded in the Home Reading Log and
signed off by you, as well as checked off by me when they return them with
their homework book on Thursday. Remember, if anyone would like extra books for
the weekend, please just ask. J
A Journey through Lent – an R.E. sheet has
been included in this week’s homework. The children could fill in a small deed
they do each day for the 40 days of Lent, eg. a kind word, a helping hand,
caring, loving, praying etc.
Publishing
The published work
has been coming in steadily and is mostly up on the wall. Our map wall of
holiday highlights is looking great. Soon we’ll be adding the artwork we’ve
been doing as well.
Walk ‘n’ Wheel
As part of Walk
‘n’ Wheel week I will be recording the number of students who have walked or
wheeled to school each day… so keep moving kids.
Here’s hoping for
some warm end-of-summer weather before the cold sets in!
Regards, Markelle
