Hedgehog Class spellings 10th September 2020

Dear Parents,

Children brought home their red spelling workbook yesterday. These can be kept at home at the moment as we are trying to reduce the number of things carried between home and school. You do not need to bring this red book in to school.

Every Thursday, I will put the spellings and/or sounds for the week on to this website for you to copy in to the red spelling book or to print off and glue in the book.

There are also ideas of games and activities you could do at home to help your child learn their spellings/letter sounds in the front of the red book.

On the front cover of the spelling book is a little note telling you which group your child is in for these spellings. Please make sure you look at the correct spelling/sound list for your child’s group each week!

We will carry out a spelling test every Thursday in class so your child can show us how brilliantly they have done at learning the spellings/sounds they had the previous week.

If you require paper copies of the spellings/sounds or have any questions about spellings, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you

Mrs Johnson

Well done & thank you Dragonflies!

As our first week back draws to a close, I’d like to say a huge well done and thank you to all the Dragonfly children for making our first week so full of fun whilst being very productive! We’ve learned the continents and oceans with balloons, designed art for the village Homegrown Show and written pages of stories whilst cracking some tricky Maths! You’ve all been fantastic in settling in with our new rules and ways of working. A special well done and welcome to Elliot and India who have had settled in beautifully. Thank you for making my week such fun and I look forward to seeing you on Monday (school uniforms due to photographs please) for another week of getting back to it. Happy weekends to you all!

Miss Whit ☺️

Ps. No set spelling or topic homework this week but do try  and get back into the swing of daily reading and record in diaries.

Hedgehogs Class Autumn Newsletter

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to the new school year. We have been working hard to make sure that the classroom and outdoor area are ready and exciting for your children to enjoy. Mrs Ball has thought carefully about being COVID secure too and we would like to reassure you that we will try our very best to keep your children safe. At the heart of our classroom is a love of learning that we will endeavour to make sure remains despite new routines and ways of working during the pandemic.

This is our topic web that outlines what we will be doing in each area of learning this term.

Hedgehogs Autumn Term 2020 topic web Overview of activities

Our literacy work will focus on ‘Peace at Last’, ‘Lost & Found’, ‘Three Little Pigs’ and ‘There are no such things as monsters’, and we will also enjoy some festive activities nearer to Christmas! In Mathematics we are learning all about number, including counting forwards and backwards, representing numbers, using a number line, making 10 or 20 in different ways and addition and subtraction. We will explore 2D and 3D shapes and solve maths problems in everyday life.

The children will have PE with Jonny Hughes (PE Specialist) on a Wednesday afternoon so on a  Wednesday, children can come to school already in their PE kit wearing school shoes. Please make sure your child leaves their named pumps/trainers in school all term.

Forest School day is yet to be confirmed and we will let you know the arrangements for this as soon as possible. For the first few weeks Forest School will be on our school site with children in uniform.

Once we have settled into the new term your child will have homework every Monday set by Miss Horton and spellings each Thursday set by Mrs Johnson. Children will bring home their green homework and red spelling books soon. You do not need to bring these into school at all (as we are restricting carrying things between home and school as much as possible due to COVID). Homework and spelling activities will be found on the school website for you to copy/print and do in these books.

Children can bring a named water bottle to school each day. We will be sending home a reading book once a week in your child’s school book bag. Please use the reading diary provided to write down a little comment each time you hear your child read/read to your child at home.

We won’t be doing show and tell at the moment, again to limit the number of things carried between home and school – sorry! We know how much your children love show and tell and hope to bring it back soon.

We hope to be able to share your child’s work with you through Tapestry (Reception) and email (Year 1) each week, so please make sure we have your correct email or you know how to get on to tapestry.

If you have any questions please email us at school (admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk) and we will get back to you as soon as we can!

Thank you

Miss Horton (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning)

Mrs Johnson (Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday)

Eco-School Award

4CB3B09A-7DB7-497F-BE3C-63C7D5484AD5

 

We have recently been awarded the coveted Green Flag Award as part of our Eco-Schools work.

The school Eco-Committee spent many weeks before lockdown looking at the ten topics which form the award – Biodiversity, Energy, Global Citizenship, Healthy Living, Litter, Marine, Schools Grounds, Transport, Waste and Water. For each of these topics the children on the committee had to review what our school does well, and identify areas for improvement.

The committee then wrote an action plan together and began working through the points for development with the rest of the school. They collected evidence of this work as they went along, a mix of photographs, work done in classes and theme and topic day evidence.

Coronavirus put a stop to our final assessment visit, but the Eco-Schools organisation looked in depth at what we had done and all of our action plans, meeting minutes, evidence and findings, and decided that our school met all the assessment criteria. We passed the virtual assessment with flying colours!

A huge well done to everyone. You will spot our Green Flag flying proudly at the front of school very soon!
