Reduce Reuse Recycle!

What a busy week we have had in Class 10!

Congratulations to Katie Davies who is our new Eco Schools Council member! Katie is going to try and keep our school environment clean and tidy so that we can all enjoy it. The children in Class 10 came up with lots of great ideas on how we can become a greener school and help to look after our precious world. I am very proud of them! We will be making more bird feeders this week to encourage the birds to our school grounds. We have already started recycling our paper and plastic in class. Thanks for all the junk! Keep sending it into school because we are really enjoying making all sorts of things. This week Ben made a house and Lucy made a pair of binoculars! We also need bottle tops for our mosaic.

Well done to everyone for wearing the Ugandan colours yesterday and paying your forfeit. The money will be put to good use by Mrs Decaro and Mrs Dobbins and will enable them to buy lots of things for the children they are visiting in Mbale. Look out for the photo of us making the flag!

Star of the Week was Amelia Day who is always very polite. Congratulations Amelia!

This week we have been learning lots of 'r' words. Next week's letter sound is 'm', can you think of some 'm' words?

We now have our listening area set up in the library. We used some Busy Bee money to buy a listening centre with six sets of headphones. Maryel, Anisha and Karah tried it out yesterday and really enjoyed the experience.

Keep collecting Flora Cooking with Schools tokens. They can be registered easily online or brought into school and will help us get free cooking equipment. We all love cooking in Class 10 and will be making porridge and welsh cakes in the next few weeks.

On Monday afternoon we are going on a walk around the local area. We will be looking at different types of houses. I wonder if we can find a detached house, a semi-detached house, a bungalow and a flat on the estate.

Bring in your photos of your homes for our display and keep thinking about your Home/School task!

See you on Monday!

Home/ School Tasks!

Hopefully you have all received your Information Sheet this week, if not please let me know so that I can send one home.

Don't forget we are collecting items for the Maesybryn Travel Agents along with lots of junk so that we can start model making.

Area 3 are going to produce a mosaic design this half term for a display using bottle tops - any size, shape, colour and material can be used so please start collecting and bring them to school.

Our Home/ School Task for the Autumn Term was very successfully. You all produced fabulous designs on your fabric! These are currently being sewn together to create a patchwork effect and will hopefully be used to make curtains for our school hall.

We will be setting a new task in the next week so look out for information coming soon.

Kind regards

Mrs Burton-Little

Our Theme

This term we will be learning about Our Precious World. Class 10 will be concentrating on Homes and Our Local Area. There will be lots of opportunities for us to be creative and carry out investigations. We will be using Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Three Little Pigs as our class stories and will be exploring different versions of the stories. Please feel free to bring copies of the stories to school to add to our collection. We also have lots to look forward to with our Eisteddfod competitions over the coming weeks.

A class news letter will be on its way to you soon with lots more information on how you can help assist your child's learning at home.

Happy New Year!

It was great to see you all back in school this week! Everybody made a great effort to get there so well done to you all!

The snow has returned once again so enjoy it if you can. I'm sure there will be lots more snowmen built and maybe even some igloos this time! Bring your photographs when we return to school and share your snowy adventure with the class.

Don't forget your homework and keep up with your reading books and keywords. If you are looking for something new after the long holiday sharing storybooks and encouraging your child to join in and identify the words they now recognise will help keep them interested in their reading.

See you all soon.

Mrs Burton-Little
