This term we will be looking at the following value:

Kindness

Welcome

Dear Parents,

Throughout the week, children across the school have undertaken a range of assessments providing an opportunity for them to demonstrate their learning from the past few months. We have been incredibly impressed with their effort and resilience. The final week of the term is Science week. The teachers have been planning lots of exciting activities to inspire the children including a special visit from the Science Oxford Museum on Friday. We will add lots of photo's to next week's newsletter.  Just a reminder to all families that we have started the 'Great Big School Clean.' We are encouraging all of you to take part and see how many bags you can fill by the final day of term. We have lots of spare bags in the school office which you are welcome to use. Our current leader is Estelle in year 3!  Have a great weekend. Mr Griffin

Explorers

In FSU we have been exercising our fine motor skills, Reception children have been learning about  number bonds to 5 and some to 10 and we all enjoyed seeing the snow! We go outside everyday whatever the weather, so please send your child in with suitable clothes and shoes!

 

 

 

Pathfinders

Pathfinders have worked so hard this week! They have been completing some special challenge quizzes. Not only have they tried their best but they have all been really resilient as well. Miss Airey is really proud! As well as this, Y1 and 2 have finished their art projects, making nature sculptures in the style of Andy Goldsworthy. The children were so creative and produced some amazing work. Some of the children have even chosen to build nature sculptures during break and lunch time as well!

 

 

 

Adventurers

Year 3 and 4 have worked really hard in their assessments this week. They have shown how much they have retained and learnt over the last few months. They should be really proud of themselves. 

 

 

 

Navigators

Year 5/6 have been looking at line graphs this week in Maths, interpreting data from graphs and even drawing their own! They have learnt about the y and x axis, keys, how to label and structure your graph and the importance of precise plotting. Well done, Year 5/6!

 

Safeguarding

We have a new safeguarding lead at Charlton. Miss Giles has completed her training and will be supporting Mrs Clarke and Mr Griffin should you have any safeguarding concerns.

Heather Phillips is our Safeguarding Governor, and she can also be contacted via the school office. Safeguarding at Charlton is our number one priority and it is great news that we have a third member of staff with this level of training and knowledge.
