This week our focus of spelling will be ‘adding suffixes that start with a vowel letter to words with more than one syllable‘. Use the video below to get ahead in your learning!
Please bring in spelling work you do at home to your class teacher.

We are so proud of all the children in F2 this week. They have settled so well – exploring their outdoor and indoor provisions, playing calmly and compassionately with their new friends and having lots of fun! #LovePlover
Crew Meade’s agreed class norms! In crew we did some active learning to discuss acceptable good behaviours we want to see everyday in school and unacceptable behaviours that are not to happen. Then we created our class norms how we can achieve being the best version of ourselves! #LovePlover
F2M have all worked so hard in phonics this week. Learning their first 5 set 1 sounds, playing Fred games, developing fine motor skills and letter formation! #LovePlover

What a busy morning! Thank you to all of our parents who joined us this morning to hook your children into their new expedition. Special shout out to Sienna’s mum who helped us to build our Roman centurions. They were much trickier for children’s small fingers to manipulate and build than I had anticipated. Everyone had so much fun and had learnt so much that moans and groans could be heard when it was time to pack away – so we didn’t – we extended the session instead. I hope you had a great day 4H, I know Miss Carter loved her morning with you and I have thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon too!

Year four have made a fabulous start to their new maths learning. Using the manipulatives, they practised building numbers up to 1,000 and representing them in different ways.
Well done, Year 4. Keep working hard!

Thank you to this young man who was so kind and compassionate all day on Wednesday. He saw when others needed a helping hand and did whatever he could to help them out. He helped me when he could see I had too many things to carry and his manners are absolutely second to none! I can guarantee that should you see him in the corridor, he will always say hello and ask how you are! What an amazing young man!

Thank you Claire from Want2B workshops. We had a fantastic experience with you yesterday. Our favourite activity was using the role play shields to march in line as Roman soldiers using the correct Latin terms and stereotypical Roman army formations.
Looking at the genuine Roman artefacts was really interesting. Although, it felt weird to know we were holding buttons from the uniforms of actual Roman soldiers. Building aqueducts was great fun too. This really challenged many of us, so we had to be courageous to give the task a go and resilient when things went a little wrong and our aqueducts collapsed.
Special shout out to Zara who was the first to successfully build her aqueduct! You superstar, well done!
What an amazing day!
