Summer Term Week 5
Mr. Stephens - 17 May 2024
Thank-you to all parents who volunteered to accompany Year 2 on our trip to Southend Sealife centre and beach. We will personally contact the people who have been randomly selected today.
If you do not hear from us, please assume that you were not randomly selected.
These are this week's notices:
- Key Stage 1 assessments (SATs) will be taking place next week. Please ensure all children are in school and on time. A hearty breakfast is also a massive help!
The timetable is as follows:
Monday - Grammar, Puntuation and Spelling
Tuesday - Reading Papers 1 and 2
Wednesday - Maths Papers 1 and 2.
- Children who need to resit their Year 1 phonics screening assessment will do so in June.
- Summer uniform (polo t-shirt, shorts, summer dress etc) is now advisable. Children are still expected to wear suitable, all-black footwear. All shirts are expected to be tucked in and top-buttons done up. When it gets hot children will have this rule relaxed in class.
- Caps or sunhats are allowed. Please ensure they have your child's name in.
- Sunglasses are not allowed unless a medical letter is provided by a GP or an optometrist.
- Additional water breaks will be scheduled on hot days. Please ensure that your child has a water bottle in school every day. This must contain water. Bottles will be inspected and bottles found breaking the rules will be emptied and filled with fresh water. Freezing the water before school is a good way of ensuring the drink remains cold throughout the day.
The weekly spellings for this week are uploaded and follow the following spelling rule: Words that end in -cious.
Please continue to access Times Table Rockstars. The knowledge and fluency the app develops will be vital for the SATs and beyond.
