Our last week in Ercall has certainly been a busy one! We have put all our football skills to use when we played a small game in PE, we presented our Oswestry homework to the class in a geography lesson and finished our independent write in English too! 😊

Congratulations to all those who received a certificate for reading and a big well done to Ollie who has now read over 100,000 words. Well done Ollie! 🏅 

Our value this term was perseverance – our champion of this was Maria! Maria never gives up and has been working so hard in her maths recently, not letting any mistake defeat her and even going back to correct them. Well done Maria 💫

Next term we will be continuing our multiplication and division unit before starting measurements in maths, we will start a fresh DT unit and begin learning all about what parts of the body are called in French 🇫🇷 Don’t forget world book day which is the first Thursday back too (2nd March)

We hope everyone has a lovely week off and we look forward to starting second spring term soon!

Thursday 2nd March (first Thursday we return) is World Book Day. We would like to invite all the children to come to school dressed as their favourite book characters.

All the children will be given a FREE book token that they can use to choose a book. With books for beginning, early, fluent and independent readers, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The books will be available from booksellers from 16 February 2023 and can be redeemed at Booka, WHSmith, and Sainsburys.

Please don’t worry about buying a costume – check the links below which offer some tips on how to make them at home and other activities too.
