Hello Thoresby Class Parents/Carers,

It has been lovely to welcome the children back into school this week, many with exciting stories to share about their half term break. We have had a busy first week back and I know that we have some exciting things happening over the next couple of weeks. Next Friday is our class trip to Rushcliffe Country Park. Children will need a waterproof coat and a packed lunch. Please be aware that the trip will take place outside so appropriate footwear is also required. 

Homework- For homework, I would like you to design and create a sock puppet demonstrating originality (one of our school values).

Reading- Reading books will be checked and changed if necessary on a Friday. Please make sure your child reads at least three times a week and this is recorded in their diary. 

Spellings- Spelling diaries should be in school on a Friday for the weekly spelling test. Spellings will be given on a Friday to practise for the following week.

Next weeks spellings are: adoration, admiration, coronation, detonation, observation, location, generation, exploration, combination, illustration.

Spelling Shed- Spellings have been added to Spelling Shed for your child to practise. Log in details have been stuck in the front of your child's reading diary. 

Times Tables Rockstars- Passwords have been stuck in front of reading diaries. Please encourage your child to practise their 7 times tables- there will be a mini assessment on this soon.
