Welcome to MG
Welcome to MG! My name is Mrs Goldsmith and we are supported by Mrs Impey who is with us every morning. You can find out information, see important dates, look at the topics the children have been learning about and see some great examples of children's homework. Please pop back to keep up to date with your child's learning.

Keeping in touch: Wednesday at 3 o'clock is our class 'drop in' session. Here, you can pop in for a quick chat. If you need to make a more formal appointment, please contact the office. Alternatively, you can use the contact form on this page to e mail me and I will reply as soon as possible. |
School Council:
Congratulations to our class councillors who both gave excellent presentations to secure their votes for a place on the school council. I'm sure they will both be brilliant in their new role. Learning Council: Our Learning Councillors for this year will be involved in a variety of different projects. GREEN BEACH HUT We will share our learning with our Green Beach Hut classmates in RBe, LC and UH. We meet weekly for reading and assemblies. Here we are sharing our love of reading:

Outdoor play times and learning:
We often have the opportunity to take our learning outside, or get an extra play time! Please can children come into school prepared for the colder weather. It can be very uncomfortable if children are outside for more than half an hour for play and lessons, if they only have a light jacket and unsuitable footwear. Children can bring boots into school for playtimes. If they come to school in boots, please bring in school shoes that they can change into. Gloves and hats are a good idea too - names in all of these please!

PE
Our PE sessions are on Tuesday morning (indoors) and Thursday afternoons (outdoors). Please ensure the correct kit is in school and should be clearly named. If your child has their ears pierced, they must be removed before school if they cannot take them out by themselves. Long hair must also be tied back.
Spellings and Times Tables
Spellings and times tables will be tested on a weekly basis. Children do have the opportunity to practise these in school, however, there is an expectation that practising will continue at home to boost their success. Children receive stickers, certificates and rewards when they achieve their individual targets.
Homework
Homework is due in on Mondays. There will be a rotation of Maths, English and Learning log style homework with a week to practise times tables and spellings. Reading records can be found in the small books and should be signed to show how many times your child has read - at least four times a week. Homework is given out again on Tuesdays.
Each term we also invite children and parents to join together for a parent - pupil project. It is a great opportunity to create something special with your child. We have had paint, wood, cardboard and even cake used as building materials! The only restriction will be the size of your project.

Our Class Charter
In MG we have discussed what it means to be a successful learner. We agreed on our class rules, using our thinking skills characters and our core values to set out our ideas, helping us become the best we can be. Our favourite is Yeti! Ask your children to tell you why we love him so much!

Once Upon a Time...
We are looking forward to sharing fairy tales this term and writing our own version of Goldilocks and the three Bears. We will extend this theme to our music lessons with Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. We will find out what instruments are in an orchestra and compose our own piece of music based on this story. Our Parent /Pupil project is to design a board game based on a fairy tale.
