Thank you to all the parents who came to our first KS1 reading event this afternoon. It was lovely to see the children enjoying a book with their parents. We hope you enjoyed it.

Reading and Homework in Year 1 and 2
This week the percentage of children who have recorded their reading at home is quite low.
| Week 3 | This Week |
| Crew Bubb | 20% |
| Crew Carter | 54% |
| Crew Meade | 53% |
| Crew Jobber | 40% |
| Crew Lewis | 12% |
| Crew Pickering | 12% |
To ensure the children continue to work hard and get smart, we have started a little competition between the crews.
Each FRIDAY the children will bring home a homework sheet. This will have a space to record their reading on and some maths and spelling homework.
The children will have until the following THURSDAY to complete the homework and return to their crew leader.
This will replace the reading logs.
The children that complete their home learning, will earn points towards a treat at the end of the term. But they can only earn points if they return their homework! Children will be able to complete this at school as well if needed, during a lunchtime club.
We understand that it is a whole family effort, so we will also be running a raffle for a parent prize. Each time a homework sheet is returned we will enter into a small prize draw.
1M worked hard to write about the importance of exercise this morning. Then it was lovely to see Mason and Leighton ask for vegetables and fruit as part of their healthy lunch! #LovePlover
As part of this week’s Caring Crew, the children have been exploring the theme of kindness.
The children thought about their feeling and how actions can help to impact the feelings of others. The crews were challenged to choose a random act of kindness to do either as a crew or as individual pledges.Ā
We hope you spot some of the children carrying out their pledges.
Experimenting the Importance of Exercise in KS1
All children in KS1 enjoyed being put through their paces this morning to complete a circuit of exercises! We learnt how important exercise is for our bodies, to improve our mental and physical health and to pump blood to the brain to help is learn more! We were hot, sweaty, panting, red faced and our heart rates were beating much faster! #LovePlover
Whiparound protocol to debrief on children’s TGB to describe the importance of exercise! #LovePlover
What a busy day of learning!
Shout out to Sienna and Mason for really working hard on their handwriting.
Children got smart in maths to estimate where numbers are on a numberline.
Avaarni has worked hard and produce some beautiful home learning to label parts of the body! #LovePlover
