Dragon's Den

Finally the exciting, long awaited "Dragon's Den” competition which tackles global concerns, is about to begin. The children will have an assembly and be told about it this Thursday. Further information will be sent home after the assembly. The first rounds will commence in class on the week beginning 7 June and the grand final will be on Sunday, 14 June. The finalists will be announced on Thursday, 11 June.

Parents of the successful finalists will be invited to the presentation in the Oryx theatre on Sunday, 14 June from 11- 12:10. More information will be sent home this Thursday. 

Reading 

Children should continue to read daily and this can be their library books, banded reading books, read theory and Epic books. A list of books has been shared with the children but you can find it here.

Spelling

This week’s spelling looks at words with prefixes -dis-, -un- over and im. There is no spelling activity for next week (due to the work being done on the Dragon’s Den presentation) ) but there will still be a dictation test on Sunday as usual. 

Maths

Numeracy passport will continue and the test will be on Thursday. Homework has been set in google classrooms by individual teachers 

What to wear:  

Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on PE days and swimming days, and regular school uniform on non PE days - their timetable has been stuck in their Personal Organiser and can also be found on the Google classroom. 

On Mondays we have swimming, please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kit//uniform and brings their swim kit in a separate waterproof bag. Please make sure all swimming items are clearly labelled with your child's name.

Water Bottles and hats: Please label everything. Some children have the same water bottles and hats as others and they often get lost.

We have noticed an increase in students wearing their own trainers to school so please remember that on school days, black footwear (shoes or trainers) should be worn.  Long hair should also be tied up. Stud earrings can be worn, but bracelets, necklaces and other earrings must not be worn to school. 

If a child is wearing a religious necklace please inform us via the Primary Office for approval. If approved, ensure it is tucked into shirts for health and safety reasons. 

Email: We welcome communication from parents. If you would like to contact your child’s class teacher about any matter, then you can do so by writing a note in the PO, or for more complex queries please send an email to the school office, and this will be passed onto the correct member of staff. Please note, all emails should be sent via the primary office and not directly to teachers; this ensures that your query can be dealt with as quickly as possible.
