Online Safety
Please take the time to have a look at our new online safety parent cards. These cards are written for parents and clearly & simply explain how to set up parental controls, block users, age restrictions and more. We hope that they will be very supportive for your all.
If you have any questions about these or any element of online safety, please do not hesitate to contact your child's class teacher or you can email our Digital Learning Leader: Mrs Briggs, at rushyict@rushymeadow.sutton.sch.uk.

A reminder that school finishes for the summer holidays on Friday 21st July at 1.35pm.
What a year1 the children have worked incredibly hard this year, both academically and creatively. We are really impressed with their team work skills and their growth mindset.
We wish you all a happy and restful holiday. Don’t forget school resumes on Monday 4th September 2023.
Don’t forget about logging into Times table Rockstars (use the log in for your chrome books).
Don’t forget you can challenge your classmates and adults too!!
Please ensure that your child is reading everyday (this can be a school book, home book, magazine, comic or from the online Oxford Owl website) and recording their reading in their diary daily. The more exposure to the written word the better their writing becomes. They can read any book, it doesn’t always have to be a school given book. We want your child/children to develop a love of books and enjoy reading for pleasure. Try to make time to share a book together as part of your evening routine. Snuggle up in bed or on the sofa, if you have a great place to read then why not send a photo via the class email to show your child reading in their favourite place!
Please use the class email to speak with us about any issues and send any work you would like to share via email. We do endeavour to put examples on the photo gallery of the blog.
Stay safe!

This Week’s Learning – wb 06.03.2023
In topic this week we investigated how much sugar was in a selection of fizzy and still drinks, we evaluated a range of dips before designing and making our own dips. We learnt how to cut using a knife safely and basic food hygiene.
In Maths, we continued with fractions, looking at equal and unequal parts of the whole, how we can use fractions to represent equal parts of the whole, recognising unit fractions of a whole (where the numerator is 1), comparing unit fractions of a shape and finished the week with a mini multiplication and division assessment to test recall.
Music – Your children will be continuing to learn how to play the ukulele through the Sutton music Service.
French - Bonjour! This week we practiced our song and recorded the words for the different minibeasts into our French books.

Next week we will learn all about Les Escargots!

Don’t forget we are going to Morden Mosque on Tuesday 14th March 2023. Please ensure your child is dressed in full school uniform and has a waterproof coat.
Please make sure you return the Mosque permission slips as soon as possible if you have not already done so. As we are unable to take your child if we do not have a signed permission slip.
On Monday 13th March 2023 KS2 has the opportunity to take part in a circus skills workshop. Year 3’s workshop will fall in our PE slot on Monday. Don’t forget to check next weeks blogs for the photos.
Friday 17th March is Red Nose Day and we will be holding a mufti day in support of the Comic Relief charity, which does such important work both in the UK and abroad. Donations (suggested £1) should be passed to class teachers on the day.
There is no specific theme for the mufti day – children are welcome to wear whatever they like as long as it is school and weather appropriate and they can go to the toilet independently in it. Please also be mindful that PE lessons will be going ahead as normal, so if your child has PE on a Friday, they will need to be able to do this safely and comfortably in their outfit of choice.
Children are also welcome to bring their Red Noses to school but we strongly recommend that these are named and kept in the child’s own tray when they are not being worn, as it may cause problems if they get mixed up.
Each class will also have an opportunity to share their funniest jokes with one another and take part in other fun activities during the day.
School disco on Wednesday 29th March in the school hall 4.30 till 5.30 – tickets are £3 each and are on slae Friday 10th March, Monday 13th March and Monday 20th March from 3.15 to 3.30 outside the school office.

Don’t forget about logging into Times table Rockstars (use the log in for your chrome books).
Don’t forget you can challenge your classmates and adults too!!
Please ensure that your child is reading everyday (this can be a school book, home book, magazine, comic or from the online Oxford Owl website) and recording their reading in their diary daily. The more exposure to the written word the better their writing becomes. They can read any book, it doesn’t always have to be a school given book.

Our PE days are Mondays and Thursdays, please note your child should come to school in their kit on these days. Please ensure long hair is tied back and earrings are removed. Your child may wear a plain white t-shirt, black shorts or black leggings/jogging bottoms. They should wear their school jumper/cardigan – no other sports top. They can wear trainers or plimsoles.
Don’t forget about logging into Times table Rockstars (use the log in for your chrome books).
Don’t forget you can challenge your classmates and adults too!!
Please ensure that your child is reading everyday (this can be a school book, home book, magazine, comic or from the online Oxford Owl website) and recording their reading in their diary daily. The more exposure to the written word the better their writing becomes. They can read any book, it doesn’t always have to be a school given book. We want your child/children to develop a love of books and enjoy reading for pleasure. Try to make time to share a book together as part of your evening routine. Snuggle up in bed or on the sofa, if you have a great place to read then why not send a photo via the class email to show your child reading in their favourite place!
Please use the class email to speak with us about any issues and continue to complete the daily assignment on MS Teams and send any work you would like to share via email. We do endeavour to put examples on the photo gallery of the blog.
Stay safe!
