Suffolk

Dear Children 

Teachers have chosen a theme from your key text for Term 1 for you to explore over the summer. This is an opportunity for you to be creative and widen your knowledge about our wonderful world so you can use your new knowledge throughout Term 1 to support yours and your classmates learning. Your task is to create a knowledge organiser to use in class. Think about the learning you did in class around using pictures and words to help us remember information. If you want to create anything in addition to your knowledge organiser, or bring photos, artwork etc. which link to your theme, your new teachers would be delighted! We will be using and displaying your work throughout the term.

Please bring your learning into school on Tuesday 3rd September to share with your new teacher and classmates.

A typical week in Suffolk 5

Specialist Teachers 

Suffolk Five-Week Beginning Monday 8th July 2024

Suffolk started the week with a Mystery Roadshow, run by Mrs Walker from St Gregs. Working in teams, the children solved puzzles and problems to unlock the box with the big clue containing the whereabouts of Gregory bear. The two winning teams received certificates from Mrs Walker. I am sure she was impressed with their cooperation and determination.

The children had a wonderful morning with Mrs Latty and Mrs Wright and came back excited for the year to come. They also had a Road Safety talk in their new classroom.

The timetable has had to be flexible this week and so the spelling test will be on Friday this week. This gives two extra days of practise.

Pax and Peter still haven’t found each other but we all hoping for a good ending to the story. This book has truly inspired some great writing. Well done everyone.

Reading

All children have been given a new AR bookmark and know their AR bands.  They have selected a book to read at home and school.  Please ensure you hear your child read regularly and record on Boom Reader. Log in reminders have been sent home. 

Please note: pupil login details have changed slightly due to an upgrade that has taken place on the Accelerated Reader platform. Pupil login details (user name and password) should now be enter in all lower case (no capital letters at all). These login details are used each time your child quizzes a school reading book which carries an accelerated reading quiz code.
