Congratulations

Mrs and Mr Jenkins from us all! Tabitha Jasmine was born this morning and is a gorgeous baby, as beautiful as her name. Mrs Jenkins and Tabitha are both doing well. 

Class 4 recorded themselves singing Happy Birth-day and cheering which was filmed and emailed straight to Mrs Jenkins who had been in contact with the staff early this morning. They then spent the afternoon making lovely cards for her which have been posted.

Beautiful baby congratulations cards for Mrs Jenkins

We are going to have a gentle week this week, with no homework or spellings to be given to Year 6 as it is a heavy week the following week with the statutory SATs tests. Year 5 homework and spellings will resume as normal I’m afraid.

The Sats papers next week are as follows:-

Monday May 13th          Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling

Tuesday May 14th          Reading Test (Comprehension)

Wednesday May 15th     Arithmetic Paper 1 before break, Reasoning (problem solving)                                              paper 2 after break

Thursday May 16th        Reasoning Paper 3

Mr Rollings is fully recovered and back in school today J After a morning of reminding ourselves about fractions and coordinating conjunctives with Year 6 and exciting archaeology with Year 5, Class 4 spent the afternoon investigating microbes in science.

Sats breakfast for Year 6 will be Monday –Thursday from 8am. Cereal, bacon rolls and toast, keeping our energy and spirits up!

Monday 1st April-Friday 5th April

Easter Holidays Home Learning

There is no set holiday home learning for this Easter. Make sure you relax and enjoy yourselves with your families and friends. If you want to keep your brain ticking over during the holidays, don’t forget Times Table Rock Stars or Discovery Espresso. Key Stage 2 Bitesize revision website is also good. Any calculation or arithmetic speed practice will also help when it comes to your SATs next term. I always recommend a good book over the holidays.

Happy Easter and Happy holidays. I know you will all be fantastic next term. I look forward to bringing in my baby and hearing what you have been up to.

All the best!

Mrs Jenkins

Grow your own Sunflower

As a leaving present to you, I would like to give you some sunflower seeds to grow. I know you will look after them (as you are experts) and hopefully you will enjoy watching them grow. You may want to have a competition with other children in the class to see whose flowers get the tallest. Sunflowers are one of my favourite flowers, they make me smile and I hope they do the same for you. I have really enjoyed teaching you and I hope to see you all soon.

Best wishes and Happy Easter.

From Mrs Jenkins

Finally, a big thank you for a lovely last day and for all my beautiful gifts.

See you all soon.

Happy Holidays!
