Elm Newsletter 24.3.23
What a busy week we have had! The children have completed lots of assessments so that we can see where they need further support. The work that we have put into reading comprehensions has greatly benefitted them as they prepare for their End of Key Stage 1 Statutory Assessments (Year 2 SATs) in May. Their stamina is improving but there is still a lot to do.
In Design and Technology, they have all enjoyed designing a ‘Moving Picture’ of their own. Over the past three weeks they have used a slider, lever and wheel mechanism to make a single part of a picture move. This week they designed and built their own version, they were very creative. Most children managed to incorporate all three mechanisms, well done! It would help if the children could practise their accurate cutting skills, especially cutting out circles, there were some very wonky wheels!
We have also welcomed Max to Elm Class this week who has settled in fabulously. All the children have been really helpful and friendly.
Next Wednesday is the Easter Competition Day and the Easter Disco. The children are invited to wear their disco clothes to school for the day.
Next week will be our last Monday PE session. PE will continue to be on Tuesdays only after the Easter Break.
A reminder that bookbags and Reading Records need to be in school everyday. We read in class EVERY morning. They also regularly need their login details for Mathletics and TTRS which should be stuck inside the cover of their Reading Record.
Have a fab weekend, please keep reading!

Sycamore Class Newsletter 24.3.23
A huge well done to Year 3 and 4 for their fantastic performance ‘Glint of Gold’. They were fantastic and we are very proud of them all. Thank you to parents and carers for helping them learn lines, practise songs and their costumes. A big thank you also to all those that bought refreshments before the performances (and those that sold them). We raised £125.60.
When they haven’t been busy practising and performing ‘Glint of Glint’ we’ve had assessment week. The children have written a story, been looking at grammar and punctuation and completed their accelerated reading test. In Maths, we’ve finished our unit on fractions.
Our Golden Certificate Winner is All the Children in Sycamore. They were amazing in their performance and we couldn’t be prouder. Well done, Sycamore Class.
Have a great weekend.

Beech Class Weekly Newsletter 24.03.23
We have had a lovely week getting ready for Easter and learning all about why Easter is so important to Christians and thoroughly enjoyed watching the dress rehearsal of Year 3 & 4’s play Glint of Gold. In Drawing Club we read the book ‘If I were the Easter Bunny’ by Louise Gardner and learned the words ‘joyful’, ‘thoughtful’, ‘conceal’ and ‘munch’.
In Phonics we have continued recapping level 3 and have completed assessments so we know what sounds and tricky words the children need to continue practicing. There will be a note of these in their reading records next week. I am really pleased to see there has been LOTS of regular reading this week so far, so please keep it up over the weekend and let’s see if we can get the highest number yet winning a prize from the lucky dip box on Monday.
In Maths the children have taken part in lots of independent activities recognising numerals and different representations of numbers to 10, ordering numbers and finding bonds to 10. Next week we are going to be learning about 3D shapes and pattern.
Thank you to everyone who has returned the consent form for the Brilliant Brushers scheme. If you have not yet returned it could you please ensure it is returned to me by WEDNESDAY 29th March so we can make arrangements to have everything ready to start after Easter. If you have any queries about the scheme please let me know via the class email address beech@crowmoorschool.co.uk
Next week is the final week before the holidays. Don’t forget the Friends of Crowmoor have organised a special Easter disco for the children on Wednesday afternoon (during school hours) and the children are welcome to attend school in non-uniform that day.
It is also the day that the Easter Competition will be judged by the Mayor and the winners will be announced so don’t forget to get your entries in by Wednesday morning!
Have a lovely weekend.

Chestnut Weekly News 24.3.23
This week we have been busy checking our phonic knowledge, reading skills and writing independently. Everyone has worked hard and tried their very best. We have also been planning our own lost and found stories ready to write them next week. We have taken time to consolidate our maths work and to practise our number bonds.
We have had fun learning about hot and cold climates and the animals who live there. We have mapped the climate zones, used compass directions and identified continents. We are proud of how well we have remembered the two hemispheres. We have linked our knowledge of Polar regions to help us with this weeks work.
Well done to so many children for reading each night and practising their phonic sheets. It really is showing in the children’s progress.
Oak Class Weekly Newsletter 24.3.23
Hello everyone,
We have had a busy week in Oak this week. Assessments, assessments and more assessments! The children have done amazingly this week with all the tests they have had to do, and all are trying immensely hard to progress.
In addition to all the assessments, we have still powered on through with our Maths. We have completed our unit on ‘Decimals and Percentages’ and… WOW, some fantastic scores! Seeing their faces after achieving such good scores has made my week!
Unfortunately, due to technical issues accessing the website, I was unable to post a newsletter last week. Our Golden Certificate last week was Ryan, for his amazing efforts in Maths. He took home the Oak Class Diary last weekend to include his exciting entry. Well Done Ryan!
This week’s Golden Certificate Winner is Harley after receiving an amazing score in the Maths end of topic test. Well Done Harley, keep up the hard work! He will take home the Oak Class diary this weekend.
Please remember to keep up the momentum with the Mathletics, reading and spelling practice as we approach the last week of the term.
Have a great weekend (hopefully a sunny one!)
