Welcome to Amber Class

Reading for fun

Children are invited to bring something in to read each day. They might choose a comic, a magazine or a book.

PE is on a Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon 

Athletics tournament

Well done to the children who took part in the tournament. They all performed with determination and sportsmanship and had loads of fun! See the class gallery for some photos of the event. 

SCIENCE WEEK

Next week is SCIENCE WEEK!  We will be learning about forces. The children will be looking at how toys move and we'll also be having lots of fun on the playground  Watch this space for the photos!

Mill trip is postponed!

Just in case you haven't heard or received the text that we sent out - the trip to Belper Mill has been postponed due to the refurbishment of the tea rooms at the River Gardens (part of the trip includes a visit to the River Gardens). All being well, it should now be on Monday 11th November. Please return the reply slip ASAP so that we can order the children's packed lunches. Many thanks 

READING

Thank you to all those who regularly fill in the reading records. It really helps us to get a picture of what your child is reading at home. Remember to keep visiting the library to find all the 100 Reading Challenge books to tick off! The children are enjoying helping themselves to books that are positioned on book shelves around school. 

Welcome back to school!

We hope you've had a lovely summer break. The children have all settled really well into the class. Well done especially to the new Year 1s as it's tricky learning all the new routines 

A letter will be sent home shortly giving you information about the forthcoming term. We thought it might be helpful to highlight a few on the website too:

• Mill trip on Tuesday 17th September 
• PE on Tuesdays
• Homework given out on a Wednesday, due in on a Monday
• Spelling test on a Tuesday
• Reading - please sign your child's reading record at least 3 - 4 times per week

After-school sports club this half term will be MULTI-SKILLS. First session on Tuesday 17th September for 6 weeks.
