• Leisurely Learning

  Thu 20 Jul 2023 Dr James Inglis

  Pupils have worked extremely hard this year, continuing to make up ground lost following successive national lockdowns, and must have a good rest before returning refreshed and ready to learn in September.

   

  We do not set homework as such during the summer holiday; however, if you are looking for something to engage or stretch your children, leisurely learning, there is plenty on the school website, including:

  Maths Everywhere: https://www.northawschool.org/maths-everywhere/

  Summer Reading Challenge: https://www.northawschool.org/summer-reading-challenge/

  Class pages have areas for remote education:

  Acorns: https://www.northawschool.org/remote-education/

  Apples & Pears: https://www.northawschool.org/remote-education-1/

  Willow: https://www.northawschool.org/remote-education-2/

  Oak: https://www.northawschool.org/remote-education-3/

  We would also encourage the children to continue reading widely and practising their recall of number bonds and times tables.

• Extreme Reading

  Wed 19 Jul 2023 Dr James Inglis

  This year, I am once again challenging the children to do some extreme reading, and they should bring home a leaflet about it today.

   

  Here is what they need to do:

   

  1. Pick a book.
  2. Find an extreme but safe place to read it, like in another country, on a bus or with an animal.
  3. Ask their parent or carer to photograph them and email us (admin@northaw.herts.sch.uk), or they can bring a copy to school after the summer holiday.

   

  Photographs will be used both for a display by my room and on our website.

   

  I cannot wait to see what extreme reading they get up to this summer.

• Switcheroo, Annual Reports and Pupil Results

  Tue 11 Jul 2023 Dr James Inglis

  On Thursday, we have Switcheroo, when children in Y6 visit their new schools and teachers here meet their new classes. Pupils should enter via the gate they will use in September, going straight to the class they will be in then.

   

  On Friday, the children will bring home updated annual reports. Those pupils who completed statutory assessments this year will also receive their results - we are extremely proud of what they have achieved.
