Grinshill Class – Working in isolation
Good Morning,
I have returned from COVID today to a very empty classroom, I hope you are all okay at home. If you feel like working I have added some work that you can do at your own pace. There is no expectation to work if you are feeling unwell.
There is homework on Education City – email if you don’t have your login details.
Kind regards and hoping you return soon,
Mrs Roberts
Maths – I will upload each lesson we do in class, so you don’t fall behind. But you can also follow maths lessons on Education City or practice times tables.

Grinshill class – Spring Term – Overview

To clarify, PE kit needs to be worn on Thursday and Friday. On Friday a full swimming kit is needed; costume or trunks (NOT BIKINI), towel, goggles (If required), swimming hat for girls or hair tied up, plaits normally work well.
Kind regards,
Mrs Roberts – Class Teacher

Homework 10th November 2021
This week we are celebrating ‘Remembrance’ across the world, in memory of our fallen heroes.
The children have a reading comprehension and colouring activity to complete this week, inside their books.
I have also included some key spellings to practice.
Reading Challenge
Today we are launching our ‘Reading Challenge’ and this time we have linked your child’s reading to several journeys around the world.
It’s not that easy to travel at the moment but we are thinking about people all over the world. Why not read your way around the world with the Reading Miles Global Challenge.
Collect 500 reading miles for every 30 minutes you spend reading, with a parent, carer, or your brother or sister. You could even video call your relatives and read aloud to them. You just need a signature, amount of time read and time you read at. Collect reading miles in a special reading passport on your very own reading world tour – a whopping 33,000 miles in total! Reading counts between 8am and 7pm.
The challenge is split into seven journeys, each of which finishes in a ‘checkpoint city’.
The following resources are available to download and print off to enable you to take part in the challenge.
• A wall map of the world charting the Reading Miles Global Challenge route
• A passport to record the reading
• A certificate for when you complete the challenge
• Postcards which you can complete when you reach checkpoint cities.
• All children that complete the each journey challenge will have their names entered into the draw to win the reading challenge box of goodies. Complete all 7 journeys and you will have 7 entries, so a much better chance of winning.

The passport will be kept in school and updated by the class teacher.
We hope you will enjoy and support us with this reading challenge.
Kind regards,
Mrs Sallie Roberts – Deputy Headteacher
New reading challenge
Starting on Monday 8th November 2021, we will be introducing the reading challenge. This is an opportunity for the children to win a big prize at the end of term.
This has always been very successful in the past and we hope this one will be too.
Details to follow.

Finally, eating their rocks
They had a great lesson.
