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.

Welcome back to a brand new year!
This term we are going to be focusing on a History topic, called Fire! Fire! We will be learning all about The Great Fire of London and The Gunpowder Plot.
Here is some useful information for the term ahead:
PE sessions this term are on a Wednesday and Thursday. Starting from the week beginning 6th September please could you come to school in your P.E. kit on those days.
Spellings are tested each Tuesday morning, which is is also when the new ones are handed out. Please make sure spelling books are in school everyday.
Homework is given out on a Friday, and is due in the following Friday morning. This term homework will typically be based online and you will be able to find the information both on Teams and on here.
As well as the weekly homework, please remember to read regularly at home, along with practising your spellings, and if you are in Year Two, learning your 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
Thank you,
Mrs Gregory
What a fabulous day Grinshill class have had today. We welcomed Kat and Sue from ‘Widget Workshops’ to deliver a full day of Egyptian activities.
The children have virtually visited Egypt with their own VR headsets, where they were able to look around tombs, statues, The River Nile, pyramids and many others.
They worked as scribes writing hieroglyphics using traditional writing implements and natural inks.
They worked as embalmers, pulling organs out of bodies and putting them into the correct canopic jars.
They played traditional board games.
As well as learning even more interesting facts about Egypt.
The children have really loved having our visitors in school today and have had an amazing day. The children have enjoyed dressing up as Egyptians.
Hi Stiperstones class,
Happy new year!
I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas break.
For today, until you have passwords to access your learning in real time via teams, I will upload work to this class page, as we did during the last lockdown, so that you can do the work from there.
English
For English, I am going to ask you to write a diary entry about your Christmas holidays. This is what we would have been doing in class today.
You can either choose a single day to write about, or write about a few days. Either way, make sure you include lots of detail, including expanded noun phrases to describe (with commas between adjectives (e.g. the giant, beautiful, green tree) and adverbs to describe verbs (e.g. I woke excitedly).
Remember to focus on your handwriting, ensuring you write joined and as neatly as possible. Also, think about your basic punctuation – this needs tightening up!
Remember full stops to end each sentence and capital letters to start each new sentence and for names of people or places (proper nouns).
Maths
In maths we were going to be multiplying and dividing by 6.
Here is a video to follow so that you can still do the same learning.
Here is the maths worksheet that corresponds with the video –
Multiply and divide by 6 work sheet
You will need to have this to work on at the same time as playing the video. The video will tell you when to pause the video and complete each part of the sheet. If you can not print the sheet, do not worry! You can write your answers on paper or in a work book.
Reading Comprehension
For reading comprehension, please read the text and then answer the questions in full sentences.
Mo Farah Reading Comprehension Activity
P.E
As we were not in school on Monday and this meant that P.E was missed, please follow this Joe Wicks exercise video as our first P.E session this week.

R.E
For R.E, please can you create a mind map of everything that you think of when you think of the word ‘God’. There are no right or wrong answers and all ideas are valid. You can even draw a picture in the middle of what you envision that a ‘God’ may look like.
Remember everyone, you will also need to be accessing Times Tables Rockstars throughout lockdown and will also need to be reading for at least 15 minutes a day to an adult.
Additionally, I will upload your Spellings onto the Stiperstones spelling page on this website each Thursday like usual.
Keep up the hard work and feel free to email Mrs Winwood on her admin email address if you have any questions for me or if you would like to show me any of your fabulous work.
Stay safe Stiperstones!
Miss L-J
