    Homework - DoodleMaths and Tables 10 minutes daily

    After half-term, we will be checking homework every week and homework club will run for 15 minutes for children who do not complete the spellings and DoodleMaths.

    Performance - please encourage your children to practice their lines for the show.  Also remind them if they are creating props to have these ready by half term.

    The Eco team are asking us for our help in Novemeber:

    Cut the Carbon!  

    This November, we’re on a mission to shrink our carbon footprints and make a real impact. Each week, our Eco-Warriors will be tracking progress and cheering you on.  There are six suggestions to help us cut carbon:

    • Eat a plant-based meal
    • Leave the car at home and walk or cycle instead
    • Meal plan to reduce food waste 
    • Lower your washing machine temperature to 30°C or lower
    • Have a device-free day
    • Turn down the heating by 1° for a week

    Bin-tastic Challenge!   

    Our playground bins are ready for a makeover—and we want YOUR brilliant ideas! The Eco Team is calling on all creative minds to design a brand-new bin that’s fun, functional, and fabulous.

    🎨 Your Mission:  Grab an A4 sheet of paper and sketch your dream bin design. Think bold colours, cool shapes, and eco-friendly features. Could it talk? Could it sort recycling? Could it look like a robot or a tree? 

    🌱 The Eco Team will review all the designs and choose the most awesome one to inspire our new playground bins!  Deadline Friday 7th November.

    This week we have been practising our play! 

    We went outside today and got rather wet and muddy while practising our throwing and marking in netball. 

    We have been working on our 500-word stories in English this week. We will be writing them up neatly next week so we can send a copy home. This way, you can help us submit them to the competition. 

    In maths, we've been working on our column subtraction. We have been practising regrouping and understanding word problems. 

    During geography, we've been learning about deforestation, why trees are needed, why it happens, and what we can do to prevent it or improve it.
