Reports and assessments
Teachers spend a lot of time assessing how each child in the class is doing against the expectations of the age group. Teacher assessment can come in the form of written tests, data from online learning activities, marking of books, and observations during learning activities.
Teachers are currently collating all of their assessments from Term 1. Early next term, we will send out grade cards showing how your child is achieving compared with age-related expectations. This will be followed by a progress meeting between the teacher and parents to help each child make the best possible progress this year.
Behaviour focus
The behaviour focus next week is ‘Using toilets sensibly’. We trust the children to behave sensibly in the toilets and use them when they need to, which the vast majority of children do. Having had some issues with children misbehaving in the toilets, we are asking parents to remind their children how to be sensible when using the toilets at school. We ask parents to please let us know if your child has any issues in this area.

News from Year R…
What have we been learning about in Year R this week?
It was lovely to welcome you all in this week to share our nativity with you. It was great to see so many of you there. We were all incredibly proud of the children’s performance. The Children did so well to deliver their lines, sing the songs and change things at the last minute due to absence. We hope you all enjoyed it.
In Maths the children have been learning that 2D shapes are flat shapes. They have been identifying circles and
triangles in the classroom and thinking about the properties of these shapes. For example, triangles have 3 lines and 3 corners and a circle is perfectly round with no straight sides. The children have also been drawing round different shapes to make their own 2D shape pictures.
Christmas activities have continued this week with the children finishing their Christmas cards, painting baubles on Christmas trees, making candy canes and learning how to draw their own snowmen and Christmas trees.
Next week:
We cannot believe that it will be the final week of our Autumn tern. Our last week is going to be full of festive fun. It is going to be our Christmas lunch on Wednesday. The children are also invited to come into school on Wednesday in a Christmas jumper instead of their school jumper/cardigan. They will still be wearing school uniform underneath. The children will also be making a festive party hat which they will wear to their Christmas lunch.
For Maths, the children will be continuing to work on shapes, with a focus on squares and rectangles. They will be thinking about the names of the shapes, their properties and identifying the shapes round the classroom and school.
Some of our festive activities throughout the week will be making a spiral shape snowman, santa sack writing activity, 2D bauble shape matching cutting activity and Christmas number ordering.
Have a lovely weekend.
