The children have loved having a go at some sewing this week and have been working hard making their own toy and showing some great perseverance-threading a needle isn’t as easy as it looks! Here’s what’s coming up this week:-

Numeracy: We will be working on problem solving and Christmas data handling.

Literacy: We will be writing our own historical stories linked to the homework sent today.

DT: We are still very keen to have any willing volunteers to help thread needles and untangle sewing! Please let the class teacher know if you can help at all.  We are planning to do these lessons on Monday and Wednesday afternoon next week.

ICT:  We will be focusing on e-safety and how to be safe on-line.

Lower Junior Christmas party: Is on Thursday (another letter about this has already been sent home).

Year 5 Christmas Service: We will be watching the Year 5 Christmas service in the church on Wednesday 14th December at 9.30.  If there are any parents who would be willing to walk to and from the church with us, we would be very grateful!  Please let your class teacher know.

Pokemon cards:  This is a really popular craze at the moment and generally the children play well with each other. However, there have been a few incidents which we have had to spend time in dealing with. Can we remind children that it is their responsibility to look after their cards and if they are worried about losing them or arguments happening then perhaps it will be best to leave them at home. We don’t want to ban them as the children are really enjoying playing with them and are learning some great social skills but we just ask that they are sensible and responsible with the choices they make.

Disco: Year 4 can strut their stuff at the Lower Junior disco on Friday 16th December 4:15-5:30pm. Tickets go on sale next week before and after school.

Have a lovely weekend and thank you for your continued support
