Everybody has their homework books this week.

Check inside to see what you need to practise to help you write your name.

When you've practised in your homework book - you could write your name anywhere! I wonder where you'll choose?

We have attached the sight words you need to practise this week to your Reading Record.

Look at them 2-3 times a day, for just a minute or two.

Remember - see the word, say the word! We don't sound these words out.

Half term challenge

​In Reception we love to sing 'Oranges and Lemons'

Here are the words we sing:

​

Oranges and lemons
Say the bells of St Clement's

You owe me five farthings
Say the bells of St Martin's

When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey

When I grow rich
Say the bells of Shoreditch

When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney

I do not know
Say the great bells of Bow

Here comes a candle
To light you to bed

Here comes a candle
To light you to bed

Here comes the chopper to chop up your bread!

​The bells of Shoreditch are very near school...

Can you go to see the tower they are in? Maybe you could draw a picture of Shoreditch Church - or take a selfie outside!

As an extra challenge I wonder if you could visit any other of the bells in the song! I can't wait to hear about your adventures. Send in any photos to admin@virginia.towerhamlets.sch.uk

Thank you to those families who have sent in pictures for our 'Where in the World' display - it's looking great! We are still missing a few though! Scroll back through the blog to find out more.

​Have a fantastic half term everyone and see you after the break :)
