This Week I have sent home a copy of our new topics medium term plan. This is a guide of the different activities we will do during this topic. It also shows the area of learning these activities are related to. My apologies that due to being off sick I was unable to send it home last week. Any questions please feel free to ask me.
This week for Phonics lessons we have split into 3 groups. Your childs sound books will be updated with the sounds they have learnt/reviewed that week according to the group they are in. The new sounds are written into the book, one sound per page. The children can then practise writing the new sounds, they can also draw pictures of things that start with that sound. Please could you send in the sound book every Friday morning, we will then update it and send it home with your child Friday afternoon.
Thank you
Its children in need day on Friday 17th November. As a school we would like to take part in this national event. We ask that your children dress up in Spots/ fancy dress on Friday and give a donation to Children in Need. I look forward to seeing your wonderful spotty creations.
Today your child will bring home their ‘My Unique Story’. We use the ‘My Unique Story’ to lead us through the parent consultation process. At Ramsgate Arts Primary School we believe that partnership with parents is the key to helping your child develop both socially and academically. Using the ‘My Unique Story’ means that the parent consultation process is a joint sharing of information where we can discuss your child together and share how we feel we can help you child to take their next steps. To help with this process we ask that you fill in the BLUE BOXES on the form (this includes a box where you will need to write down your child’s opinions) and bring this with you to the parent consultation if not before. We will then fill in the remainder of the form together and also add in a sheet outlining how your child has progressed in each area of learning. We will then use this as a base for our discussion during the parent consultation. Parent consultations will take place next week.
Let the magic begin
Our topic for this term is 'A Magical Winter'
Our spooktacular halloween!
For your first love to learn challenge we ask you to firstly decorate your book in order to personalise it for your child. After that we would like you to find out about fireworks night and/or Diwali. You might like to look at pictures, produce a painting, make a guy, a rocket or a diwali lamp. You might like to discuss the history behind fireworks night or the reason for celebrating Diwali.
We hope you enjoy your half term break and look forward to looking at your challenges after half term.
Please return your Love to Learn books by Wednesday 1st November. Your child will then be able to share their book with their friends in class.
This week we have had an Autumn Arts Week. We have learnt all about what happens in Autumn and used different media to create different works of art. This has included leaf people, paint mixing, button trees, weaving and leaf rubbing.
I am learning to control my body.
Every day we exercise with the children, working on our gross motor skills. We move our bodies in different ways and hold the positions to build up our strength. Ask your children if they could show you some of the exercises we have done.
I would like to invite all parents to come in for a meeting on Wednesday 18th October. It will be an opportunity to talk about next term, as well as a chance for you to look at your childrens books.
We have had a wonderful morning! Thank you to everyone for your donations so that we could enjoy the farm experience. Thank you to everyone that was able to come and join us for the visit, and the art activities after. Have a great weekend.
