Monday 30th October- Friday 3rd November

Welcome back to a new half term. This week has been as busy as usual. We had our Maths Share morning. This is where our parents came into school and we showed them how we learn our Maths. Mr Balls and Mrs Jenkins held auditions for the Christmas play on Tuesday. The children now know who they are playing if they wished for a speaking part. On Friday we learnt the first two songs with great success and enthusiasm from the children.

Year 6 finished their SATs practice papers and were pleased with their results. On Friday they took their letters home to their parents so they are aware of their scores too.

Wednesday 1^st November

Class 4 Newsletter

  Our P.E lessons this term will still be on a Wednesday and Thursday. Both Mr Knights and Mrs Jenkins will be doing indoor P.E this term. Mr Knight is doing gymnastics. Mrs Jenkins is doing circuit training.

Our Christmas play practice will begin on Friday. We have had the auditions this week so children will soon know their roles and what costumes they will need to wear. We will send out a separate letter with this on. The Christmas play this year is on Thursday 14^th December.

Your child will be given a new home learning pack this half term. They have a selection of activities to choose from. We would like a piece of work once a week. If it is a big project or cooking a photo or a little description in their home learning book is sufficient. House points and extra playtime is given to those who hand in work. If your child needs any help, Thursday lunch times are available to them in my classroom.

Remembrance Service

Please feel free to join us on Monday 13^th November at 1:30pm. Class 4 will be heading down to the War Memorial in the Village for a short service.

Bawdsey Fundraiser

Please let me know of your ideas for some fundraisers. I am thinking we could help the Friends of Wenhaston at the Wenhaston Christmas Bizarre on Saturday 2nd December  with a stall. If you or your child would be able to help then please speak to me.

Blyth Woods

Friday 24^th November is when we will be joining the Blyth Woods group. You are welcome to join us at 1:15pm on that Friday.

Viking Museum

The children have been working very hard in their topic lessons to produce some great work. We would like to open up the classroom to parents for a Viking Museum. The children will be the experts/curators and guides. They will guide you through the artefacts and impress you with their knowledge. Monday 4^th December at 2pm.

Finally, spellings and photos are updated weekly on our class blog.

I look forward to an exciting and busy half term.
