Robins Week beg. 8.5.23

Date: 4th May 2023 @ 5:21pm

Robins enjoyed extra PE on Wednesday with Mr A whilst I accompanied Owls on their first school trip to Delamere Forest. It was lovely to meet lots of younger siblings! 

Please remember to read with your child for 10 - 15 mins daily and record in diary if possible. Also take a look at their reading target which is on a sticker in their diary, some children may have the same target for a few weeks to work on. 

We have now covered the Year 3 spellings rules so will spend the next couple of weeks revising what we have covered this year and learning some new common exception words. A full list of these statutory words for Year 3/4 can be found on our Robins Class Page. 

Here are the words for next week - beg. 8.5.23

adventure, mixture, picture, creature, information, explanation, temptation, adoration

Spelling quiz next week will be on Friday 12th May
