A huge well done to all our yellow T-shirt winners in year one and year two. It is clear to see how proud they all are and what great roles models they’ll be next week.
1M – George always tries his best, has been to school everyday this week, completed all his home learning and been trying really hard with his reading.
1N – Anywn was ill last week, however this didn’t stop her working hard as she completed all her home learning pack and has continued that same hard work in school this week.
2P – Mia always produces exceptional work, but this week her final write is just phenomenal. Future author in the making?
2B – Roscoes confidence and effort in class has grown so much this week. As well as producing some excellent home learning. Keep it up buddy!

TGB Thursday in Crew
In academic crew this morning Crew Meade have been developing their phonics and reading skills on reading eggs.
We have celebrated another 100% attendance for all our crew today, so fingers cross we win some crew cash tomorrow if we get another 100% tomorrow.
It is brilliant to see a lot of our crew have been reading at home and completed their homework from yesterday!

Leading their own Learning at Home
Check out Hasty’s awesome animal report, Casey’s beautiful recycled jellyfish and purposeful poster, and Oscar’s brilliant mini-beast habitat and sea habitat projects.
Again, we are blown away by how immersed children are to continue their learning at home relating to our expedition… They are starting to really think about – “How will what I do today to impact the world tomorrow?”

Year 1 Updates on Home learning
Hi KS1 grown ups,
Just a reminder following on from last weeks paper slip.
- Phonics reading books and plastic book bags to be read and brought in daily.
- Boggledy book and cotton beige bags to be brought in every TUESDAY – to read for pleasure as an aspirational book.
- 12 high frequency word spellings have been given out today for children to practise everyday as there will be a little test on Friday.
- Literacy and Maths work sheets will be given on a Wednesday and Thursday. These are to be returned on a Friday.
- Freckle and Reading Eggs are fantastic online platforms to develop fundamental skills and we will be monitoring time spent on these 🙂
Prizes and rewards will be awarded to children who are completing these tasks!
All of the above are to support your child’s education at home, along with the learning they do every day in school which their reports shared last week in the pledges section.
Thank you for your continued support! #LovePlover
Friday 4th Number Day 2022
Good afternoon KS1 Crew,
This Friday (4th February) is the national NCPCC Number Day. We would like all children to come to school dressed up as a number. Please find below some great ideas for dressing up. We can’t wait to see all of you! #LovePlover
Life Cycle Learning!
Today we have been learning about simple life cycles (we focused on the life cycles of a frog) and habitats! I wonder if any of you can write sentences at home about what you have learnt today? Take a look at the photos below of the some of the cycles we were able to work out. I particularly loved solving our riddles. Sometimes I only needed to read the first line and the children could tell me straight away which sea creature I was talking about.
Just a quick note – I forgot to add to my reminders about number day on Friday. Please come to school wearing anything number related, the more creative the better! If you have a football top with a number on that would be perfect! Alternatively you could write numbers over an old t-shirt. I’m excited to see what you can come up with. Also please record how many minutes you are reading with your child at home, the old reading records had a tracker on the back. I’ve been having to track a million minutes on a spreadsheet, but it is still happening so record your minutes! Every minute counts and it makes a huge difference!

Reminders
Some important reminders!
P.E tomorrow! Please bring appropriate kit.
Spellings have gone home today. Please practise these, use ‘look, cover, say, check’! We will be testing spellings on Friday. I have chosen the words I’ve noticed as a class we are frequently spelling incorrectly.
Digital leaders – This is an exciting opportunity for one member in each year 2 class. We are looking for our very own students to coach the year 2 teachers on how to use everything technical. They will have the amazing opportunity to be trained up on things such as ipads and Apple Macs and then be given time to train me up! But there is a catch, you will need to apply! This can be done any way you like! You might want to write why you would make a good digital leader, or even film a short video. Please send applications to me by Thursday. Only children who consistently achieve 3’s and 4’s in their HOWLs will be considered. It’s not up to me to choose though, so make them really good! Keep your eye out for all the posters in the windows to read more.
