Class Dojo

Our class reward system is Class Dojos. Children can earn them for having a positive attitude towards their work, effort, a high standard of work, teamwork, caring for others, challenging themselves and many more. Children will be rewarded with prizes / certificates. However, class dojos can also be lost for unacceptable behaviour, lack of  homework etc. 

Homework 

Spellings

Once completed, children will bring home the results of their year 1/2 common exception words test to learn the spellings that they got incorrect. Once confident, children will move onto the year 3/4 common exception words. Children should aim to learn 10 per week using a variety of fun methods such as spellings scribbles, rainbow words, word pyramids, bubble writing etc. 

Spellings Homework for Parents

Attendance

We aim for 100% attendance in every class. We want our children in school each day so that they have every opportunity to learn and develop in order to reach their full potential. Dojos are given each week for 100% attendance. 

Snack

Children can bring in a healthy snack each day to take onto the playground with them. Good examples are any fruit / vegetables, cheese, toast. Please don’t bring in chocolate bars, biscuits, cereal bars or crisps as SMAAA is a healthy school. 

School Dinners

For the time being, children will be eating their lunch in their classroom. Can we ask that the children bring packed lunches into school in a plastic bag so that they can be thrown away after lunch time. Monday – Thursday school will offer a range of sandwiches (ham, cheese, egg and tuna)  and on a Friday children will also be able to get fish and chips.

P.E. Kits

Year 3’s P.E. day is Tuesday each week. Children should come to school in their P.E. kits which should include the following:
