Autumn Term – Grinshill

Welcome to the Autumn Term,

I would just like to welcome you to Grinshill class and post a few items that you will find useful this year.

Monday – New spellings are handed out. Spelling test from last weeks spellings. ( First week back spellings handed out on Tuesday 2nd September, test on Monday 9th).

Monday – PE – Kit (White t-shirt, black or navy shorts/ skort) will need to be in school (Keep in school in case we need it for drama)

Friday – Homework sent out (This will be either Maths, English, Science or Topic with some times table practise)

Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday – Homework handed in.

Please ensure that all children have a water bottle in class with their name on. You don’t have to have a fancy, expensive bottle, a plastic drinks bottle is fine. BUT PLEASE ENSURE ONLY WATER IS GIVEN TO CHILDREN.

Please ensure your child’s name is on their clothing including PE kit.

Daily – In order for your child to make progress it is helpful if they can do 5 to 10 minutes of reading each day and please log this in their reading journal.

Thank you, I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 3rd September 2019

Mrs Sallie Roberts

Class Teacher and Deputy Headteacher

Spelling practise at home

Can I please remind parents that their child should be practising spellings for about 5 minutes each evening. They can use the look, cover, write, check method.

A few minutes a day really does make a huge difference.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Mrs Roberts

Teaching for Mastery in Maths

Both Mrs Foster and Mrs Roberts are being trained as ‘Teaching for Mastery’ maths teachers. This is a hugely successful approach to teaching and delivering maths to children. It originated in China, which as a country has the worlds most successful mathematicians. It is still being developed across the UK, and we are very excited to be part of this project.

The maths that the children will see in these classrooms may look a little different to what they are used to. It does not require pages and pages of repeating sums, but to understand why they are doing it, what they know about it, how to explain the reasoning and how they can use that knowledge in other areas of mathematics.

If you have any queries that you want to discuss with either teacher please let them know.
