 Hi Red Class,

We are now half way through the last week of term - hasn't it flown by! Well, today we are celebrating all our hard with with some Golden Time; check today's sessions for more details.

We also have our Collective Worship Assembly today, live at 11.10am with Rev Collishaw; please see the email sent yesterday for details.


We also have some exciting news from the PTA:

Competition time!

The school PTA has this week launched a virtual pet show, just for a bit of fun over the half term holidays. Don't worry if you don't have a pet though, you can still take part!

The PTA are also very excited to announce that they have a celebrity head judge to help decide the overall 'best in show' - BBC Countryfile and Cotswold Farm Park's very own Adam Henson will be judging the final winner!

How to enter:

1. Take a look at the categories below and decide which one you would like to enter. Take a photo of your pet, or if you're entering the 'anything goes' category get creative with your pens/paint/play doh. You could take your camera out during your next walk and see what you can spot - a bird, creepy crawly, horse or maybe even your neighbour's cat?

2. Once you have a photo or drawing, ask a grown up to help you email it into the PTA at pta@holyapostles.gloucs.sch.uk stating the category you're entering, name and class by Friday 19 February.

The categories are:
  • Dashing dogs.
  • Anything goes - a picture/photo of your favourite cuddly animal or an animal you see on your daily walks.
  • Cute cats.
  • Teacher's pets - just for school staff.
  • Super small animals.
You can only enter each pet once, BUT you can enter as many categories as you have pets.

Prizes: Votes will be counted and category winners (1st, 2nd and 3rd) will win a rosette. Adam Henson will then select the overall 'best in show'. The winner and their pet will receive a special prize.

Questions? If you have any queries, please email the PTA at: PTA@holyapostles.gloucs.sch.uk


Here are the sessions for today:

Weds 10th Feb


I hope you enjoy your well earned Golden Time; I think we will at school! We have decided to watch 'Flushed Away'

Have a great day,

Mrs Prescott

Virtual Sports Day

Dear Parents, Normally at the end of the year, we would spend a day all together out on the field, taking part in our School Sports Day. We may not be able to do that this year, but it doesn't mean we can't have some sports day fun. Instead, this year we will be having a Virtual Sports Day. There are 5 challenges for you to complete to win house points for your house. For all the details, please click here . The competition starts now!  You have until Wednesday 16th July to get your scores in. Please email them to the schools Admin email account, with the Subject ' Virtual Sports Day' and your name child's name and year. Winners will be announced on Friday 18th July, along with the winning house! Good luck! Mrs Prescott

Buenos Dias Red Class 🐳 Wow! How is it Thursday already? It's nearly the weekend already! Today I thought I'd add a link to a storyteller so that you can enjoy a story at the end of the day, just like we would do in Red Class. These are 'Stories by Nick' ; new stories are released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 2pm, but there are loads already available for you to listen to. Here are today's suggested activities: Thursday 7th May I hope you enjoyed being a Scientist again today, and don't forget to put your photos onto ILD so I can see what you have been up to! Have a great day, Mrs Prescott Note to Parents:  Please remember that these are suggested activities for the day. Set the level of work that you feel is appropriate and achievable. There is no expectation for you to print work at home. The majority of the work suggested can be written straight into the Home Learning Books or photos and videos uploaded onto ILD.

Hi Red Class Parents, Below are a selection of additional activities you can do with your children, if you wish. They are purely to help on those times when you run out of ideas, there is no obligation to complete them. Harold the Giraffes Daily Diary Follow what Harold is up to whilst he is not at school. This is produced by Coram Life Education who make one of the PSHCE curriculums we use at school, SCARF. Oxford Owl - Read Write Inc. Phonics Oxford Owl's scheme, Read Write Inc. Phonics, teaches the sounds and words in a different order to the way we have learnt them (through Letters and Sounds), however this is still a good resources to use to support children's learning and revision.  Children should be able to complete 'Learning Set 1' and most of 'Learning Set 2' and some of 'Learning Set 3'. If you are unsure of the sounds your child has learnt, please refer to the Sound mats provided in your Home Learning Folder. If the children learn a
