Hi Everyone

What a great week we had last week! Christmas has definitely arived at Lostock Gralam! I hope you all like our Christmas tree in the playground that we will plant on the field in January as a premanent reminder of how different Christmas 2020 was.  Robins have enjoyed learning how to play 'Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer' on the ukuele and sounded absolutely fantastic on Thursday when we recorded a little something for you. The children also enjoyed making their own Christingle, another first in these different times. We have missed having our sevice in church however our room looked beautiful with every child's glow stick shining in the darkness, a reminder that Jesus is the light of the world. The children took part in a recorded worshp with Mr Cliff leading us in the making of our Christingles and they were able to explain the significance of each element. We have loved learning how to sign Christmas songs and carols and it was just magical for the whole school to be out side in the playground together, socially distanced, as we all signed a special song for you. A few tears were shed by the adults!

This week we will be having little assessments in reading, spelling and maths to add to my own, continuous teacher assessments. Inbetween the assessments, as a treat for all of their hard work, the children will be watching a pantomine from The Grange theatre that they have kindly sent into school for us. We will continue to explore the app 'Book Creator' on the ipads during our computing lessons, adding sound, music and graphics into the super hero books that the children have already started. The children have been excellent in these lessons, listening well, having fun and supporting each other. 

In PE, Robins are learning how to play Netball with Mr Ault, focusing on shooting, passing and receiving the ball as well as how to get into a good space during the game. Please remember that all PE lessons are now on a Monday and the children can wear gloves as it is getting colder. 

Thankyou for your continued support with home reading, spelling and times tables. These three areas, continue to be the homework for Robins class. Please don't hesitate to ring me at school or send me an email via admin@lostockgralam.cheshire.sch.uk if you have any questions or queries.

Have a great week.

Many thanks

Mrs Rice and Mrs Brennan xxx
