IMPORTANT NOTICE -
Parents evening - over the course of this week, I will be trying to contact parents for a chat. If you have expressed a preference for times, I will try to fit in with that. Otherwise, you may receive a call at anytime this week - if you need to ignore it, please do and I will try a second time.
Friday, 5th March - Celebrating the end of remote learning!!
Today is a little different - the pods in school will not be on zoom as they celebrate their last day together so our day will be different too. In the morning zoom, we will be doing some drawing, completing some quizzes and enjoying the fact that we won't be relying on video from Monday! Make sure you have some paper and a pen or pencil with you and I will see you at 9.15.
There will be NO afternoon zoom - this is because I need to sort the classroom out ready for Monday. Can I take the chance to thank all our parents and families for their support over the last couple of months; I look forward to welcoming my class back to school on Monday.

Learning for Thursday, 4th March - World Book Day
Things are a bit different today and your only goal is to spend plenty of time enjoying books! In the morning lesson, will will mark the reading comprehension from yesterday and then look at some tips from authors for writing great stories. After that, I will have a book ready to share. We will also chat about some ideas for the silly reading challenge and see what we can come up with. We will then split up for math as normal so that Year 5 and Year 6 can work with their usual teachers.
In the afternoon session, we will read a little more and have a few minutes in breakout rooms but the afternoon will be very busy as we have Spanish at 2pm and an extra reading session with Miss Chambers at 2.30pm. (I'll let you have codes for that in our 1.30pm session if you need them).
