Merry Christmas

Have an amazing and safe Christmas everyone. Keep in touch with each
other using email and remember to let me know what Santa Brings you all!

Days of the year

Can you remember how many days are in each month? Remember this rhyme to help you

30 days hath September,
April, June and November
All the rest have 31
Except for February alone

Christmas Trees

Have you all got your Christmas stockings yet. Does anyone know where
this tradition came from?

Reading books & Mrs Timbrell

Just a reminder that you need to bring your Reading books in tomorrow.
Also, Mrs Timbrell will be in so if you have any cards for her the day
to bring them in is tomorrow.

Spelling Test

Between the 5/6 concert and carol rehearsal we've hardly been in the class so the spelling test will be next week.

Play

You were amazing. I'm so pleased how all of you have worked. Mrs Evans
was still saying how brilliant it was an hour later. Mrs Moorman, Miss Wood and myself are the proudest teachers in the world today! I look forward to seeing you at your best again tomorrow!

Concert

Well the time is almost here! Keep practising and remember not to rush
your words, we need to hear you and have time to laugh at the jokes.
See you all tomorrow!

Football

Good luck to Evan who is training with Cardiff City tonight.

Wet Feet

Not a very good start to my morning! I'm on my way to school with wet
feet as my shoes have leaked. Let's hope today will get better'

Christmas Fayre

I hope you all had fun at the Fayre. I certainly enjoyed the chocolate
fountain!

Well done to Kieron who finally won food for his Dad and brother after
A LOT of attempts on my stall!

Letters

Remember that we are writing letters to Santa this week. Try and learn
your address or bring it in on a piece of paper if you can't remember it

Commenting on the Blogs

I know some of you are having some problems commenting on the blogs. If you are getting a red X where the validation code should be, you can do the following.

This was a problem we were having in school as well. The best solution is to download Firefox, it is a browser that can be used instead of Internet Explorer. It is much more secure and provides a better browsing experience. I use it at home and we now use it in school; we now have a much more reliable time on the internet.

You can download it from http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

Click on free download and press next or install to all the instructions. Once it's installed you can use it exactly like internet explorer but it is a much better browser.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks

Mr Timbrell

Phew!!!

Well I'm shattered after that Christmas Concert rehearsal! I'm really
pleased how it's coming together. Try to get your costumes in as soon
as possible so we can do a dress rehearsal.

Jeremiah Obadiah Jackenory Jones

I have to say I really enjoyed reading this book to you, it's
definitely one of my favourites.

What was your favourite character or part of the book?

Letter Writing

Morning everyone. We will be learning how to write letters this week
so get learning your address ready for Wednesday. I will have a copy
of all your addresses but it's also important that you try and learn it.

X Factor

What you do you all think? I am a huge fan of Queen so enjoyed it this
week. Who do you think will go?

Choir

The new Choir words are now available on the website

www.stgwladysbargoed.co.uk

Christmas Trees

Today's question is 'Where did the tradition of Christmas trees come
from?'

Christmas Concert

I have to say that I really enjoyed rehearsing the Christmas concert
today; it's got me all in the Christmas mood! Make sure if you have a
script at home that you are practising as much as you can, you should
know most, if not all of it by next week.

Castles

I am so pleased with the Castles we received so thank you so much for all of the effort you put into them. We have already used many of the Castles as inspiration for our Fairy Tale stories this week. Well done to Shona who won Pupil Of The Week for her original castle design made out of cake and sweets; the smell of the chocolate is still torturing me!

Wow

What a busy day! Remember to show your letters to your parents tonight
so that they know what costumes you need. You have plenty of time to
get them sorted but if you have any questions remember to ask, or get
your parents to contact the school. You can always email me at timbri@epals.com

Stories

I was so impressed with your story ideas today. Keep thinking of ideas
for your character, descriptions and what happens ready for tomorrow.
Remember, we are writing a fairy tale so it needs to end 'Happily ever
after'

X Factor

What a show last night! I love Ghostbusters but I am still unsure of
the twins' version. Who do you think is going?

Long Weekend

You lucky things having a three day weekend! I'll be in school
tomorrow preparing to help you even more.

I hope you have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday. What have
you got planned? Add a comment to the blog to let me know.

You'll have the spellings and a small task by email tomorrow.

Homework task

As part of our reading project this week, can anyone find out what is the biggest selling book of all time? 3 merits for the winning answers tomorrow

Email

Congratulations parents, you were fantastic. I bet the children will
have a hard time getting on the Pc's now!

Where has half term gone?

I cannot believe how fast that week went, it seems like only yesterday
we were getting ready for Halloween.

I hope you all had a fun but most of all safe half term, I'm sure I'll
hear about it all today.

I know many of you have been working hard at your castles. Check your
email if you need a reminder of what to do.

See you all in class

Pumpkin Ball & Half Term

Sorry I couldn't be there at the pumpkin ball, those of you I saw looked fantastic! I hope you had a great time. If any of you take any photos bring them in and I can put them on the school website.

I'll be sending you an email tomorrow with a reminder of the home school castle project just in case you lose the sheet. It's due in on Thursday 5th November.

Have a great half term everyone and I'll look forward to hearing about what you get up to (and talking about the two weeks of x factor results)
