Year 4 have been working really hard this half term in PE. They have been practicing the football skill of controlling the ball using the inside of your foot. So many of the children started off the half term not feeling confident with football but it is clear to see how much the children have learnt and their dribbling this morning was superb! Keep it up Year 4!
Well done to all the children in Year 3 and 4 this week. You have worked so incredibly hard, fitting in the learning that was planned to be covered over four days into the 3 days we had this week.
I have seen how hard you have worked on your final write and I am looking forward to reading some more in more detail.
You have really demonstrated how much you have learnt in your World War 2 expedition so far.
Today we have been so lucky to receive books from Doncaster Stories and the National Literacy Trust.
We have lots of beautiful books in school, but these books are extra special, because the talk in different languages.
We have a selection of beautiful picture books in Polish/English, Romanian/English, Nepali/English and Arabic/English, but not only are they lovely to look at, with the use of a special pen, the story is read aloud in either English or the alternative language.
This will be a super resource to share not only with our children who speak English as an additional language, but also with our children who find it challenging to read texts.
I look forward to seeing how our children respond to them.
For your information, Year 4 PE will usually be held on Monday and Year 3 PE will usually be held on Wednesday.
There may be times when these days have to change ( due to weather, extra PE sessions or other unforeseen circumstances), so please could children bring their PE kits to school on Monday and leave in school until Friday.
It also helps us greatly if all items of PE clothing (and footwear) are labelled with the child’s name.
I’m looking forward to seeing you at the KS2 sports day tomorrow morning (Thursday). Gates open at 9:15 and the children will be taking their places at 9:30.
Children can come to school in their PE kits, please.
A sweatshirt/hoody might be useful, as the weather has cooled off a bit and we will be outside all morning.
Just to clarify that KS2 (Years 3,4,5,6) sports day is on Thursday 1st September. We ask parents to arrive from 9.15am and to be seated for 9.30am. The children will then come onto the field for 9.30am ready to start their sports day activities. We also ask for children to just wear their normal PE (white t-shirt, dark shorts/joggers and trainers.)
