Welcome

Welcome back to Spring 1! We hope you and your families enjoyed a lovely Christmas break.  We have an exciting and busy term ahead of us, including our Y4 trip to Chester. Our school value this half term is gratitude, so we will be encouraging the children to demonstrate this value throughout the next six weeks .  

 

Please don't forget that Twitter is updated regularly, so you'll see lots of learning and experiences taking place on there.  Miss Simpkin and Mrs Speak can be contacted on info@stjohnsrc.net.

 

 

 

Key Information

 

PE Days

Swimming and Outdoor Games- Tuesday

 

Reading Books

We encourage children to read for at least 30 minutes every day. We would appreciate your support in helping them to find some time every day to enjoy a book.

 

 

Homework

 

Please login into Atom Prime each week: https://atomlearning.com/prime 

 

We will continue to set English and maths tasks using this platform. We would encourage children to have a go at these tasks independently where possible, as the questions will be adapted to suit each child's level. If you are unable to access Atom Prime please do let us know. 

 

Please also remember that your child has a login for TT Rockstars to help them practise their times tables. Again, please do let us know if you need a reminder of login details.

 

In addition, we will be setting spellings this half term. There will be 8 per fortnight, 4 taken from spelling patterns the children have been learning in class, and 4 from the Year 3 and 4 statutory spelling list.
