Mrs Kirby-Murray and Mrs Anderson Class 18

Welcome to Class 18

Mrs Kirby-Murray and Mrs Anderson will be your teachers this year. Mrs Kirby-Murray teaches Monday -Thursday, and Mrs Anderson will be with you on a Friday.
This term, our topic is Community and Belonging. We will build on your Year 5 topic, In the Shadow of The Wrekin, learning all about what it means to be part of a community and how important our sense of belonging is. You can find more details of everything we will be covering in the different subjects on our topic web which is posted below.

The School Day:

Children should be dropped off at their class door at 8.40am and registration closes at 8.45am. The gates will be locked at 8.45am. Pupils arriving after this time will be required to go through the office and will be recorded as late.
Pick up time will be 3.15pm. Children left behind after 3.15pm may be asked to join After School Club and a charge will be applied.
Each day, the children need a coat, water bottle and packed lunch if they are not having a school dinner.
Suitable footwear – every day we will encourage the children to take part in the daily mile or other physical activities, so they need comfortable, safe footwear to do so.
Slippers can be left in school for children to change into.
All children need to have wellies and waterproofs in school, to protect their school uniform, to take part in outdoor learning which will happen every Thursday.
All uniform, including outdoor clothing, needs to be named.

PE days:

All pupils need to bring an appropriate PE Kit on their allocated PE days. Class 18 will do PE on a Monday and Friday .
Track suit for outdoor winter games.
Plain black shorts/cycling shorts or leggings.
A school royal blue short or long sleeved T-shirt which can be purchased via the school website/ uniform shop or a plain blue or white top can be worn.
Training shoes suitable for outdoor games on the field and playground.
Swimming costume / trunks and towel - lightweight, long sleeve t shirts and leggings can be worn if necessary, for religious/cultural reasons.
No football shirts/strips should be worn and clothing should not have large brand names on them.

Reading and Learning at home:

Daily reading – children will bring their reading books and diaries home with them each evening and these should come back into school with them each morning. We would strongly encourage children to be reading a little each day - our minimum expectation is at least 3 times a week. As we are in Year 6, children are able to write in their own diaries, but these entries need to be signed off by an adult at home. Children will earn a dojo for each signed entry they have from home.
Maths and Grammar activities will be shared weekly on Teams, and regular maths and Grammar challenges in class will help us review how this learning is going. Children do not have to bring anything into school, but they can take photos and submit them on their Dojo portfolio if they wish.
Below are some useful website which will help you to support your child at home:

ParentPay:

ParentPay must be used to pay for school meals and for any other trips / visits that are planned in school.

ParentPay is also used to give permission for activities beyond the daily curriculum offer, including for trips, visitors or other enrichment activities.

If you need any help or support setting up your ParentPay account, please contact the team in the office who will be more than happy to help.

Keeping in touch:

We will continue to use Dojo as a way of keeping in touch.

We will do our best to respond in a timely manner, but please bear in mind that during the school day we are focused on teaching and learning with your children, and we do not monitor Dojo throughout the evening.

If you have an urgent request/message, please contact the team in the office.

This week we spent a morning at Sunnycroft. This is our local National Trust property. Our work there was based on story-telling and drama but we also learned orienteering skills in the grounds. Inside the house we used our historical skills to look at primary sources of evidence of the past. The children, as usual, were a credit to Short Wood! Please visit with them and they can tell you what they have learned!
