Welcome to Leopard Class!
Hello and welcome to Leopard Class! It has been an amazing start to the year and it has been a pleasure to spend time as a new class over the past three days.
The children came in on Wednesday looking so smart and grown up, with big smiles on their faces and it was a pleasure to see.
We have spent this time working as a team and completing activities.
In English, we have spent time learning about Leopards and reading the story of how Leopards got their spots. The children had a go at thinking about other animals and their special features.
In maths, the children have explored numbers by; using apparatus to make numbers, finding different ways to make a number, reading and writing them and finding totals.
From our transition day, the children produced amazing art work that have been used to create colourful, welcoming displays in our classroom! Please have a look within the photos below.
This term, PE is on Mondays (indoors) and Tuesdays (swimming) and children will need to come to school in their PE kit on those days:
- A plain white t-shirt
- Black shorts/joggers
- When PE is in the hall, the children are barefoot and when PE is outside, their normal school shoes are perfectly adequate to be able to take part safely. Daps can be sent in if you prefer, but are not essential.
- Children can wear their school sweatshirt/cardigan
- swimming kits include a costume/ trunks, a swimming hat (these can be provided) and a towel.
Just a reminder:
As we are a ‘slipper school’, the children take their shoes off once inside the building. If your child is unable to untie and tie their own laces, please can their school shoes be slip on or Velcro instead. Please ensure that your child’s uniform, including hats, coats and lunchboxes, are labelled – it really does make it easier to identify and reunite children and their belongings. Thank you 😊
A shout out for helpers:
We will be swimming in this term, if you are able to walk to and from the pool with us (Swimarium) on Tuesday afternoons please let myself or one of the team know., we will need helpers for this to happen each week. Also, we are looking for volunteers to join us on our trip to the Holbourne Museum this term - Wednesday 25th September. If you can help with either or both, please let me know as soon as possible, in person or by email class4@westbury-inf.wilts.sch.uk. Thank you :)
The new dinner menu is on the website, please do look at the menu with your child to help them when choosing their daily option. https://www.westbury-inf.wilts.sch.uk/Noticeboard/Lunch-Menus/
Next week, Mrs Erickson will be teaching Leopard class on Thursday while Miss McMillan has her planning day. Miss McMillan will be in class the other days.
Thank you,
Miss McMillan and Mrs Fitz-Henry-Roe :)
