Owls
“Every morning, when I enter the classroom, it is so pleasant seeing the amazing smiles and feeling the positivity from everyone. It is always so exciting learning something new, from spellings to something you didn’t even know existed. Having teachers that always believe in you and knowing that you can always count on them to help you is awesome!”
Welcome to Owls
Owls’ class is taught by Miss KIng and is supported by Mrs Allen and Miss Callaghan. Children in Owls’ class work hard and are always happy to help each other.
Homework
Reading – Your child will take a STAR Reader test each term which will determine which colour book-band they are on. It is important that children have their personal reading book with them every day in school. However, we also ask that they bring their school reading book home each day so that they can spend time reading at home. When your child has finished a book, they will be able to take an Accelerated Reader quiz.
A focus work sheet is sent home on a Monday with your child. This details the spelling list for the week as well as a guide to the areas to be covered in English and Maths. While this is not homework, it provides information about the type of work your child will aim to complete during the week.
PE (PE kit)
To see when your child has PE please click on this link to view the PE timetable.
Please also ensure that your child comes to school dressed in the appropriate kit on these days. Please can you also ensure your child has their water bottle in school and has sunscreen applied or is wearing warmer PE kit depending on the weather forecast.
Please make sure that long hair is tied up on PE days, and earrings, if worn, are removed.
Trips and Visits
We are very lucky to be going on some fantastic trips this year and we will be taking part in some memorable experiences. trips are being planned for the rest of the year - watch this space!
Performances
In the Summer Term, Year 5 and 6 pupils will be taking part in a production. It is a great way for the Year 6 children to sign off from Nene Valley before they embark on their Secondary school journey.
