Spellings

This week, we have been recapping the ‘er’ sound and how it is represented in letters. 

heard, herd, exaggerate, unconcerned, perspective, controversial, confirmed, interaction, international, permanent, persistent, interpretation.  

Please make sure your child is practising their spellings.  

There will be no more homework given out after Friday 6th December, as we are aware the children will be busy putting all their energy into the Christmas play! 

Year 6 will need a packed lunch on the following days: Wednesday 4th December, Monday 9th December and Wednesday.

If your child is wearing a costume in the play, it needs to be in school on Monday 2nd December. Please bring it into school in a labelled carrier bag. 

After both matinee performances, your child will wear their costume home with their school uniform in their labelled carrier bag. They need to come to the evening performances wearing their costume. 

After the evening performance on Monday 9th December, your child will wear their costume home.  

On Tuesday 10th December, please bring the full costume back into school in a labelled carrier bag. 

After the evening performance on Wednesday 11th December, your child will wear their costume home. 

On Thursday 12th December, please bring back to school any costumes that were lent by the school. 

Please note—for safeguarding purposes, there are no spaces in the church for the children to get changed into their costumes. 

Thank you for your support with this.

They will eat their packed lunch at the church on arrival. We will return to school for normal pick-up time at 3:15pm, unless you are there to collect at the end of the performance. 

For the evening performances, your child needs to arrive at Holy Trinity Church at 6:30pm.
