Roundhouse building and Home Learning

 

Hello everyone, 

I hope you are all well and are enjoying the sunshine. The children have certainly enjoyed being able to explore the different outside areas that we have at POW. 
Next week, we will be building another very special and unique feature of our school site. 

On Monday and Tuesday, children across the school will be involved in building a new roundhouse in our forest school area. As the oldest children in the school, year 4 has been given the privilege of starting the build on Monday morning and finishing it on Tuesday afternoon. 

On Monday, please could ALL children come to school in outdoor clothing suitable for the weather (forecast is currently rainy). Sturdy shoes are preferable to ensure safety during the workshop and clothes usually worn for forest school activities that you don't mind getting dirty would be best. 
Children should also bring their school uniforms and school shoes (and a change of socks?) to get changed into after they have completed their round house building. 
On Tuesday, children should come to school in school uniform but should bring clothes for round house building to change into for the afternoon.   


Homelearning
The home learning for this week is based on classification keys which we have been learning about in science recently. The children have been challenged to create their own classification keys based on anything they like. It could be vehicles, food items or even imaginary creatures. 
Every child should have come home with a paper home learning sheet but if yours didn't make it home, an electronic copy can be found here.  If you or your child need a reminder of how a classification key works you may like to look at this video


Spellings
Spellings were sent home on Tuesday but in case they didn't make it, here are this weeks spellings:
