Key Stage 2 Newsletter
This week has been our
assessment week and we’ve been very proud of the children’s mature and sensible
attitude towards their learning; every child tried their absolute best, which
is always great for us teachers to see! This week has also seen us kick off our
rehearsals for our Christmas production (which is just over a week away, with
performances on Tuesday 18th
December and Wednesday 19th
December). Those children with speaking parts have been trying very hard to
learn their lines at home and remember who they speak before and afterwards so
thank you with your support on this. We get very excited about our Christmas
production every year and look forward to this being another cracker!
Home Learning
Thank you for continuing to
support your child with improving their star write challenges, we have been
very pleased to see the children are not simply copying their writing, but are
thinking about how to make it better by reading the target their teacher has
set them. We feel this support from you at home is valuable in ensuring your
child makes progress so thank you for working with us on this. We have also
been very impressed with all the reading going on at home, both in books and
online via our Bug Club scheme. Keep up the great work!
Topic
In our topic sessions this
week, the children have been writing their very own letters of thanks to the
lovely people at the Leeds Grand Theatre. They have really enjoyed writing for
a real purpose and the final letters look fabulous! We are going to be sending
them all to the theatre in a pack so fingers crossed the children will get a
reply soon!
Christmas
Production
Next week, we will be having
rehearsals for our production. The children are trying very hard to learn their
lines and remember their stage directions as well as the lyrics to all the
fantastic songs. Each class has learned their own dance for their class song-
why not ask your child to show you how it goes? We have been blown away by the
great enthusiasm for the production from boys and girls alike, which is great!
We hope you are all aware of the costume your child needs but if not, please
ask them or your child’s class teacher for clarification.
Jam
Jars!
During our last week of
term, we will be doing lots of fun, crafty Christmas activities, which will be
exciting for the children. In order to do this, we are asking that every child
brings a glass jar in. So far, we have had some in but are not close to the 90 we
need so that all children can participate. If you can recycle any jam jars, or
jars from past sauce that would be great! Don’t worry about lids, no lids are
fine too! Thank you!
Have a lovely weekend!
