Publishing/Writing:

The  children’s 6-sentence stories will come home in homework clear files this week to be published. Please support your child to type this up themselves and email it in to me. I encourage the children to edit their stories as they go, so in fact a 6-sentence story may well become a 6-paragraph story, which would be marvellous! Remember publishing work at home ticks lots of boxes for Writing:

*Supports spelling and grammar.

*Encourages keyboarding skills.

*Gives the children a wider audience for their writing (you are the audience).

*Allows the children to add, delete or change detail in their story.

*Presents writing neatly for display.

There is some great writing happening, so go for it….. continue to bring those stories to life!

Gymnastics & Dance:

The children are really enjoying their sessions of Gymnastics with Sharelle Potter (Tuesdays) and their first sessions of dance with Mrs Chamberlain. We even made a link with “right angles”, which we have been studying in Maths. 

Can you see a right angle in the photo? (Well…. nearly a right angle!)
