As well as using our homework journals, homework will be posted here daily...
A note for parents on homework: Homework is set daily and my aim is for the work to be challenging but achievable. Should a topic be too hard (especially in math) the children are encouraged to try their best but if they are simply stuck, get a note from mom or dad letting me know and I will revise the tricky topic the following day. Some new topics in math this year are very challenging and take a good while for most children to fully master, so experiencing challenges is natural and expected :-)
Homework Thursday 13th June 2019
No homework tonight as it is Sports Day tomorrow! The weather doesn't look too great for it so please consider this when it comes to choosing clothes for the day. No need to pack fruit in lunches as there will be loads provided and NO sweet treats please! Lots of water too as it will be a very active day.
Homework Wednesday 12th June 2019
* No homework for some children tonight: each year in the interest of fairness I allow children who have birthdays either during holidays or on a weekend (and so miss a chance to have no homework for their birthdays like the others in the class) a night off homework. So, tonight if your child had a birthday either during the summer, on a weekend or during a school holiday they have no homework!

No homework tonight as a reward for over 50 acts of kindness since we began our focus on friendship last Monday! I had set the children a challenge of reaching 50 acts of kindness before Christmas which would result in a night off homework - but they managed it in just over a week!!
A huge effort is being made by all the boys and girls to focus on the positive acts they both see and do during the day at school and I have seen a great change in their attitude towards one another in this short period since we began to focus on friendship & kindness. They are now becoming more aware of looking for and seeing the small acts of kindness that happen everyday in their group and are beginning to become more supportive as a group with a real positive atmosphere developing.
It is a good start and I will be continuing to focus on this theme throughout this term and for the remainder of the year so if moms and dads could also reinforce this from home it would be super. I will chat to you all about it during our parent teacher meetings anyway.
Well done to all the boys and girls for their huge efforts to date. Our friendship tree is certainly blooming!

Following on from last years success where all children in our school ran a full or half marathon, this year our children are going to be running to various locations around Europe! To complete this fun challenge we are counting one lap of our yard as 1km, and so our class will be running 778 laps of the yard to cover the distance from here to Paris. This will be completed over the coming weeks and months in a non-competitive fashion where children can choose to walk, jog or run their laps each day. Children have been given sponsorship cards to get sponsored as they take on their Run to Paris challenge, please return to school as soon as they are full.
