Welcome to Red Class

God wants me to be the best me I can be.

Welcome back everyone. We hope you had a fantastic Easter break. 

This term our topic is called "Bug life". We will be learning about a range of bugs and mini-beasts. 

From Mrs Elder

We are so excited that you will all be coming back to school next Monday. We have missed you so much. So that we can prepare for you coming back there won't be on any online lessons on Friday. We will put some work on this page for you to do instead. Celebration assembly will be on Thursday at 2pm, not Friday. 

Take care and we can't wait to see you.

Message from Mrs Elder 

I would just like to say a big thank you for engaging so positively with the home learning. I have been amazed to see how brilliantly everyone has adapted. As a mum I know how hard it must be to try and organise home learning for your children so once again I just want to say thank you. 

If someone had told me a year ago that my staff would be teaching the children through Zoom I would not have believed them. However, we are here now and I am so proud of them all. They all have their own commitments outside of school and many have their own home schooling to deliver too. As a mum I now know more about GCSE maths than I ever did when I was at school! 

Thank you so much for your ongoing support, we are learning as you are and we are in this together. Hopefully it will not be for too much longer. As always please contact your child’s class teacher if you have any questions. 

Please take care and stay well. With God’s help we will see each other again soon.  

Reading information 

If your child is in Reception, you should have all received the class login details by email to access the electronic reading books on the Oxford Owl website. Please let me know if you have any problems logging on or selecting the right books. 

Thank you and happy reading! :-) 

BE YOURSELF WEEK

Next week is Be Yourself Week. Children in school can wear their own clothes and can have their own hairstyles. If you would like to do this at home that would be great.

Help with Mobile Data

If you do not have fixed broadband at home and cannot afford additional data for your devices, we may be able to apply on your behalf to temporarily increase your data allowance while your child cannot attend school.

The scheme is currently available on the following networks: Three, Smarty, Virgin Mobile, EE, Tesco Mobile and Sky Mobile. Other providers may join the scheme in the future.

In order to apply on your behalf, we will need to know:

• the name of the account holder
• the number of the mobile device
• the mobile network of that device (for example Three)

You cannot apply directly, all applications must be made through school.

We also have a small supply of Vodafone data only SIMs which can provide 30GB to use for 90 days. These can be used on a smart laptop/dongle or a smartphone. If your phone is locked to another network, you would need to contact your provider to request for your phone to be unlocked. You would also not be able to use your phone to make calls/texts while using the data SIM.

If you would like to take up either of these options, please respond to my email address. If you are interested in us applying to increase your data allowance, you must provide the information set out above. If you are interested in a Vodafone data only SIM, this would need to be collected from school.

Note to parents: 

Thank you so much to everyone who sent me their work yesterday by email. It was great seeing all your photographs. Well done for having a go. 

Parents please don’t feel overwhelmed by the packs sent home. We just wanted to provide a range of activities in case people did not have access to printers. There is no expectation to complete the whole pack. Alternatively, your child can access these activities instead on our class page or do a mixture 😀

Home Learning Day 1

Good morning Red Class. I hope you are all ok. 
Today I would like you to practise writing your name and your numbers. You can find some number activities in your home learning pack. 
 

         Welcome to Red Class

The staff in Red class are: 
Mrs Scott Class Teacher and Deputy Head

Miss Goodwin & Miss Colak Teaching Assistants

Red Class have had a great start and have loved their first few days last week. All the children have had the opportunity to explore our indoor and outdoor classrooms. 

All children have been given a peg with their names on to help them recognise the letters in their names. 

Important Information

In the mornings children are asked to put their purple book bags in the box provided and their packed lunches in the basket. We encourage children to bring flat book bags, no rucksacks please as we have limited space to store these. 

On Thursdays and Fridays,  Red class will take part in a P.E session with the Accrington Stanley trained coaches. Please can your child come to school dressed in their P.E kits. This should consist of:

• a plain white T-shirt
• black shorts/joggers for cooler weather
• black pumps (no trainers please)
• Children can wear their school jumper/cardigan over the top of their PE kits. 

From Friday, Reception pupils will be sent home with a homework task and a set of key words to learn to read. The children will be tested on the words every Wednesday. Please can you help your child learn these words. 

Children will be sent home reading books soon. 

This term our topic is "Amazing Me". The children will be talking about themselves, their families, likes and dislikes, pets and things that interest them. 

As the weather is so unpredictable and is  getting colder, please ensure your child brings to school a warm hat and gloves. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to speak to a member of the team.
