Welcome to Wrens!

Our aim is to make the year that children spend in Wrens, one in which they make progress in their learning, become more independent, build up their confidence in the 5 Rs (Respect, Responsibility, Reflectiveness, Resilience and Resourcefulness) and, of course, really enjoy themselves and have fun!

Miss Croston teaches Mon-Fri with Mrs Drew, Mrs Clarke and Miss Tennant as teaching assistants.

The whole school rules of Be  Safe, Be Ready, Be Respectful are very important ones to learn and to follow.  We work hard on helping children to use the 4 Bs in their work:  Brain, Buddy, Board, Bit & Bobs.  This is about really learning to think first or use what is available around us to become more independent and resourceful learners.

Reading homework is 5 Reads at home, with these recorded in the yellow Reading Record book.  Books are taken in on Mondays and children who have 5 Reads in their book become reading champions.  Each week an e-reading book is assigned on the Oxford Owl website for which all children have a log-in and reading from this book counts for the 5 Reads.

Phonics/spelling homework is to work regularly on the Common Exception words.  Each child has a sheet indicating which words they need to work on in reading and writing.  

Maths homework is to work on number bonds to 10 then 20 using the Numbots website.  The White Rose One Minute Maths app is also a helpful resource and the free Top Marks website where there are lots of maths games.

PE days are Thursday morning (indoor) and Friday afternoons (outdoor)

We will mainly use Class Dojo to communicate with parents and carers but if you need to speak to a teacher, we are always happy to make an appointment or, if it’s a quick message, catch us in the playground.  Our termly newsletters also let you know what we are planning for the term ahead.

Many thanks,

Miss Croston
