We are moving away from formal spelling tests in Pimhill and Haughmond, and will instead be working on the application of correct spellings in written work. However, if you would like to continue to work on spellings with your child at home, the below attachments are the common exception words for Year One and Year Two. These are sometimes referred to as ‘tricky words’ as they do not follow the spelling patterns that children learn in Key Stage One.

Online Learning
Hi Pimhill,
Just to let you know that Mrs Foster has uploaded some lovely activities for you to complete at home onto your class Teams. You will need to log in using the account details given to you by school. Once you are logged into your teams, you need to click on ‘Teams’ on the left had side and make sure you are on ‘Pimhill’, then you will find the work for you by clicking on your year page for example – ‘Reception’ under ‘Channels’.
I will be contactable on teams to help with anything with your home learning.
We hope you enjoy the activities.
Miss Lloyd-Jones

Pimhill Class Information
September 21
Welcome back to those who were in Pimhill before the holidays and welcome to all our new starters. In Pimhill there is myself Mrs Foster the class teacher, Mrs James and Mrs Mukhopadhyay (pronounced Mukherjee) Teaching assistants.
We have had a brilliant couple of days with all the children happy and settled into school. I’m looking forward to getting back to lots of fun activities.
This term our main topic is going to be about ‘Celebrate me celebrate the world.’ We will be looking polar regions of the world and where they are in relation to the equator. We will find out about the past and look at Mary Anning and the work she did in discovering fossils. In other areas of learning we will also be exploring the local environment and learning about our senses. In Computing, we will begin the term by learning about the importance of staying safe when using technological devices After half term we will be making puppets for our DT learning.
In English our main texts will be Peace at last and The three little Pigs. There will be a phonics session for the class every day linked to both reading and spelling. Individual reading books will be sent home and will only be swapped the children with support by a member of staff in Pimhill,
In Maths we are continuing with our Mastery Approach to our learning and will be starting this term by ensuring we have a really good understanding of Number and Place Value before moving on to calculations. We will also be practising our number bonds each week so that we can secure these facts and use them to base our other learning on.
P.E. will be taught by Miss Ryan and will be on a Thursday morning starting the week of the 6th September. Children need to come into school in their P.E. kit on those days please.
Music will be taught by Mrs Kessel – Fell .
We will be having forest school sessions and again the children will need to come dressed ready on a Wednesday. More information on this will follow.
As always, my door is open for any queries, questions, or problems you may have. Either catch me on the gate or give Mrs Winwood a call in the school office to organise this.
I look forward to working with you and your children.
Mrs Foster.

Tea Party – 18th May
To mark the upcoming wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and celebrate British Values, we will be holding a Tea Party on Friday 18th May.
Parents should provide a small plate of party food for pupils to eat and share at the tea party!
Pupils should make a special crown for homework and bring it into school ready for the celebration!
Pimhill class will be on a school trip to Cosford on that day, so will not need to bring a plate of food, but they are still encouraged to make crowns for the special day!
