WELLY WEDNESDAY 25th November 2020
CLASS 4 LETTERS:
Welcome back to school everybody! Mrs Cockings, Mrs Webster and Mrs Smith are ready for the new Autumn term to start. After the school closure, we are eager to establish a 'normality' and have lots of exciting learning activities planned. Our Autumn topic is The Pendle Witches - a particular favourite of ours. A curriculum map will be posted on our page this week. We are hoping to plan the Pendle Witch Walk and we are looking into the possibility of organising a history trip, as usual. Over the next few weeks and months we will be focusing on key skills and we plan to fill the curriculum gaps from the missed summer term. Assessments will be discrete, but these outcomes will help focus support and catch up schemes. The well-being of every child in class 4 is paramount - together we can work to improve confidence, bring back consistency and establish new goals and aspirations. We are all looking forward to teaching and encouraging every child, working with our supportive parents throughout the term. Welcome to the team!
Key points to note:
PE will be every Wednesday - come to school already in the PE kit. Optional - to wear black sport leggings or black tracksuit bottoms (starting next week).
Wild Welly Wednesday will continue.
If you need to contact Mrs Cockings - please ring or email the school office.
Recent home learning links will remain on our class page for reference.
Swimming has been delayed until after half term.
Our new class leaders... Eco, E safety, Worship, Sport, Council and Team captains! Well done everyone and good luck with your new role...
