Welcome to Room 7

Term 2 - Week 1

Welcome to Room 7. 
It was lovely to see so many parents here this morning and the children were certainly excited to be in their new classroom. A very big thank you to those parents who have kindly helped me set up over the last few weeks, it's much appreciated.

News
The children have pasted the new topics for the term into their Homework books. Please help them to be prepared each week with perhaps a book, photo etc.  

Concert
On Wednesday morning at 10.30am, Chris Skinner singer/songwriter will be performing in the school hall. Everybody welcome.

Artshirts
We would like any old mens shirts or t-shirts please to wear at art time.

Swimming
Next week we start swimming. There will be eight lessons over the next five weeks. Our lesson begins at 10.45am each day for half an hour. Everybody is expected to swim and are required to wear the school tracksuit pants which are available at the Uniform shop. If you are able to pop down and help with dressing, it would be much appreciated. Please check that all clothing is named too, thanks.

The dates are-
Tuesday 10 May
Tuesday 17 May
Thursday 19 May
Tuesday 24 May
Thursday 26 May
Tuesday 31 May
Thursday 2 June
Tuesday 7 June.

Spelling 
On Friday, children will be given spelling words to learn for the week. These will be pasted into the back of their Homework book. The spelling test will be every Friday morning. It is the Spelling Alive programme which places emphasis on "tooling" each word, saying each sound aloud, listening, then recording. 

Basic Words
Please keep revising these each night. I am available to check any new words before school.

Eisteddfod Poetry
Later in the term each child will be asked to recite a poem. This may be one they have learned at school or you may have a favourite at home.

Teacher Only Day
Monday 16 May, Week 3, school will be closed for a Teacher Only Day.
