What are we learning:
Welcome back. We hope you have all had a wonderful half term.
We are starting this week as we mean to go on with Feeling good week! It is so important that children build up the life long skills of how to take care of their mind and body. This week is all about teaching the children strategies that they can use to help achieve this.
Each day we will have a different theme and complete activities around this:
Monday: Creative me (special drawings for display)
Tuesday: Mindful me (pancake related activities)
Wednesday: Healthy me (making healthy food)
Thursday: Active me (Sports for champions visit)
Friday: Together we are Strathmore (FGW cafe)
Phonics:
Phonics this week will be even more active than it is normally! Every day we will be getting our hearts beating whilst we read and write words. This is what we will be focusing on:
Alternative pronunciations : i, o, c, g, u
Tricky words for spelling: little, one, do, when, what, out
Also don't forget our special E-safety assembly on Wednesday 26th at 2pm. The children will be sharing with you what we have been learning about in concern to E-safety. This will be followed by a very interesting professional presentation. It will also be repeated at 7pm that evening.
Don't forget to go to:

We are Healthy!
We are pleased to introduce our Strathmore Maths Ambassadors. In Rowan, Maple and Hazel we have Isabelle, Ayesha, Elissia, Zahra and Florence. In Oak and Willow we have Chloe, Alice, Grace, Beth and Rosie. The Ambassadors have been learning two games that they can play with other children, Strike it Out and Incey Wincey which you can find on the NRICH maths website. We will be playing these on the playground and in the school. The Maths Ambassadors all agree that Maths at Strathmore is GREAT FUN!
Zones of regulation
We use the zones of regulation to help manage our emotions. We are free to move our name to the appropriate colour when we are feeling excited, sad, tired, or cross. We understand it is normal to feel all these different emotions. By acknowledging them we can then find strategies to help us, which in turn will ensure we can move ourselves back to green. When we are on green we are ready to learn.
