What a fantastic start to our Autumn Term. Well done to everyone in Falcon Class for such a positive start to our new school year.
The Autumn Term is going to be wonderful!

Children are invited to come to school in their school PE kit on these days. Please ensure that full St John's PE kit is worn.
Thank you for your cooperation with this. Any questions - please just ask!

Homework
To ensure that homework is meaningful and manageable for all of our families at St John's, we would like the main focus to be on reading. As above, please support your child by encouraging them to read just a few pages of their home reading book four times per week. Please ensure that their reading record is signed by an adult to reflect the reading that is being done at home.
We also encourage children to learn their weekly spellings at home too - please ensure that your child's spelling sheet is completed and returned to school on a Friday.
Finally, given the importance of times tables, please encourage your child to visit and play on TTRockstars at least three times per week. This will really help their progress with times tables and wider maths. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any difficulties logging in.
Optional Homework
For those children/families who do feel that they would like to do something more, please find below details of optional homework for this half term. This can be completed and brought to school at any point before the end of the term.
For your optional homework this half term, I would like you to write your own fairytale - with a twist!
This could be based on a well known fairytale but with some details changed or a completely new fairytale that you have created.
Your story can be written, typed, presented as a PowerPoint, comic strip...or any other creative ways that you can think of.
