Dear parents / carers,

Welcome back, all the team in Ash class hope you’ve had a lovely break and are ready to get back to it!

As usual, we have some fun-filled, creative learning, with lots of hard work and fantastic experiences. Our topic this half term is ‘Victorian Accrington’.

Little polite reminders:

• Reading books are changed Mondays and Thursdays.
• PE is on Wednesdays 
• Homework is due in on Fridays.
• Every Friday there will be a spelling test.

We are very much looking forward to helping your child progress this year.

Kind regards,

Mrs Yates, Mr Wilson, Miss Bradshaw, Mrs Hall, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jackson and Mrs Johnson

During the next 5 weeks, we will be delving into the topic of 'Victorian Accrington'. Please have a look at 'The Curriculum Overview' below  to learn all about the new things we will be learning about this half term. 

Please be assured that as a school we are following the most up to date guidelines with your child's safety being one of our highest priorities.

If there is anything at all I can help with and support you with, please do not hesitate to contact me through the school office.

Curriculum Overview

Homework Grid

Please have a look at the 'Spring 2 Homework Grid' below. We understand that family life is busy, therefore, it is not essential that all of these activities are completed but we do ask that your child aims to complete some of the activities to reinforce their learning across the curriculum.

Reading and Spellings

Your child's reading book will be changed twice a week (Monday and Thursday). Please read each book with your child and then encourage them to have a go at reading independently. Talking about the story with them and asking questions to develop comprehension skills can be extremely impactful in enhancing their English ability. 

Spellings will be handed out every Friday for a spelling test the following Friday. It is extremely important that your child works hard to practise their spellings at home to ensure a good result in their spelling test. 

PE

We will continue to have our PE lesson on a Wednesday afternoon.

There has been a change regarding PE kits. Please can PE kits now be kept in school and the children attend wearing their school uniform. Thank you

Tapestry

The team are very excited about our new learning platform 'Tapestry'.

'Tapestry' is our secure online Learning Journal to record photos, observations and comments. Please continue to check Tapestry regularly to see all of the hard work your children have been getting up to throughout the day. 

Thank you.

Bug Club

Please continue to use and check Bug Club regularly as stories appropriate to your child's ability will be allocated. These online story books will help your child meet their reading target, aiding them in improving their reading ability. 

Cool Milk

If you would like your child to have milk, you will need to register them on the cool milk website and pay the required termly fee.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs Yates and Ash teaching team.
