Welcome Cheetahs of 2018-2019!

We are so pleased to report what a positive start we've had to the year- and with the largest class in the history of Catfield School, 29 children!  Wow!

On our first day we carried on our Birthday theme from our transition days before the summer and made birthday cards for each other!  All of the cards have been expertly designed by the children, and our lovely TA's Mrs. Ryan and Mrs. Barker have then stuck each Cheetah's name into a card...  so they don't know who they have made a card for!  Our 3 August birthday children have been lucky enough to receive theirs already!

The children have already decorated our art display with some getting-to-know-you pieces of writing and artwork in our classroom!  Feel free to pop in and have a look!

The children have been eased in with some light Maths and English lessons to get us back in the swing of things for their first full week starting Monday!

A lot of information has been sent home this weekend:  The children have their brand new diaries, which are a gift from all of the amazing parent led fundraising in the Summer Term!  They also have the class newsletter, a lunch menu, after school club schedule, and last but not least, their new Spelling books!  Yes, they will have their first spelling test next Friday September 14th! 

In their Spelling books, it has been explained to the children that they need to complete the wordsearch that is linked to their list, as well as show me that they have written their list out 3 times in their book.  Any more practice is absolutely fine, but does not need to be evidenced in the book.  Children will have to finish any incomplete spelling practice on a Friday afternoon (Sunshine time).

Finally, a massive well done to our first 2 Outstanding children: Sam & Carson!  You boys have been spot-on already!  Thank you for setting such an amazing example in our classroom and being so kind to everyone!

We will see you all again after a restful weekend!
