Dear Y6 Parents,
Your child may have already mentioned that as part of their learning we will be taking part in the Barnsley IKIC Big Challenge for the next couple of terms. This is an enterprise based learning opportunity where the children create and run a business in small groups or independently. There are several prizes and awards on offer from IKIC to recognise the hard work of the children; last year’s overall competition winner had an all expenses day out in Manchester at SnoZone and iFly!
Before half term, Mr Shaw came and introduced the project to the children and they begin to consider potential business ideas. This has obviously sparked a lot of ideas and interest as I know some children have already started making their products however we are officially starting next week so please do not panic if you weren’t aware of this yet.
The children can choose to run their business outside of school if they wish, however, there will be selling opportunities in school and as part of the IKIC project during the school day, so this is not a requirement of the project. I will send more information around the selling opportunities when I get confirmed details- your child does not have to take part in these if they do not wish to.
We will run our project workshops every Wednesday afternoon- so if your child has chosen an item that can be made here- please make sure the equipment needed is in school on that day. If your child cannot make their item here, this time will be used for marketing and promotion.
The products the children make have to be in line with trading standards- as they could be sold to members of the general public- so there are restrictions on what can be made, for example, no toys such as slime.
To get the businesses started school will invest £20 for each team. If you have already bought materials you must ensure your child keeps a record of what has been spent so that it can be paid back from any earnings. One of the key aims of the project is to help children handle real life situations and problem solving such as budgeting and making decisions around money.
Last year we had some very successful teams and we raised a significant amount of money for the class to spend on making some amazing end of Y6 memories.
If, at any time during the project, you have any questions please don’t hesitate to pop in and see me or email school.
Kind Regards
Mrs E Edwards
Dear Y1 – Y6 Parent/Guardian,
South Yorkshire STARS Walk to School event – 15/11/18
The South Yorkshire STARS project is all about getting active on your way to and from school. To celebrate all that is healthy and fun about walking we would like everyone who can, to join us on a one off special walk to school day starting from the underpass on Hemingfield Rd. We are hopeful that this will encourage parents to park a little further away from the school gates in future.
There will be one walking route to school. The walk will start from the underpass and have one pick up location along the route. The walk will start at 08:30 and we’re asking parents to arrive for 08:25 to be in with a chance of winning some STARS branded goodies. We are not able to wait for people to join us so please arrive on time to ensure that we arrive at school ready for the start of the school day.
Parents are still responsible for their children getting to school safely! The Ellis C of E staff, Miss Cook, will be joining us on the led walk along with Dave from South Yorkshire Stars.
It would be great if you could join us!
Meet at 08:25 for an 08:30 start.
- 0.5 mile
- Pickup point at the top of Briery Meadows and at Hemingfield Green.
Arrive at school for 8:45
The South Yorkshire STARS Team.

Dear Y6 Parent/Carer,
Your child has been selected to represent the school in our first game for the Boys Football League against Holy Rood Primary School. The match will take place on Friday 19th October 2018 at Horizon Playing Fields (Shaw Lane).
We will be leaving school at 1:30pm and aiming for a 2pm kick off. As there will be numerous games in the league we would be very grateful if parents would drive their children to the events. Children will be able to travel straight home with parents after the game and therefore will not need to return to school.
Your child will need to bring suitable football boots, football socks, a drink of water and a bag for their belongings. Your child must wear shin pads. The event will be held outdoors. If your child requires an inhaler they will need to bring this along with them. No money will be needed for the event.
The annual ‘sporting fixtures and curricular activities’ consent form will be used for this event, therefore if you do not wish your child to participate please email Mrs Fiddes.
Please also email to let Mrs Fiddes know whether you would be able to take your child and any other children to the event and if not, whether you consent for your child to travel with another parent and whether you require them to be dropped off at school or home.
If you have any questions or queries please contact me at school.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Your child will have hopefully completed their cooking challenge and helped you make some delicious food. Please feel free to e-mail any photographs in to school so that your children can put them in their journal.
As the motto of the ABYYT scheme is ‘Be the change you want to see’, we have discussed how we could do this and the children will hopefully be surprising you with some random acts of kindness.
After the holidays, we will be taking a walk around Hemingfield and thinking about any changes which we, as a group, could make for our local community.
Thank you,
Mrs Brinkley.

Parking
We have had several parking complaints recently. One lady was unable to get out of Chapel Croft to go to work this morning as her drive was blocked. Another resident repeatedly parks on the zig zags. Both of these are unacceptable and we have photographic evidence of both occurrences.
PLEASE PARK CONSIDERATELY!!
Photographs
Photographers will be coming into school tomorrow, 9th October, to take the children’s individual photographs.
Brothers and sisters who attend school and either nursery session will also be photographed together for a sibling photograph and this will be organised in school.
If you have a pre-school baby or toddler that you would like to bring for a family photograph please come to the school hall at 8.15am. You are, of course, under no obligation to purchase any of the photographs if you do not wish to do so.
Flu Sprays
If your child did not have their flu spray in school, you will be receiving an invitation through the post to attend one of their clinics. There will be a selection of dates available so hopefully you will find one that is convenient for you.
Thank you

Dear Y2 Parents,
Just a quick update on TT Rock Stars and Spelling Shed. Everyone has been sent home logins for these, if you have any difficulty logging on, please let us know and we will look into it.
Firstly, a big well done to all the children who have been on TT Rock Stars. It is lovely to see how excited the children are to tell us about their achievements. Through our teacher login, we are closely monitoring how the children are progressing with their 10 times tables. Once we have seen a good level of accuracy and speed both on TT Rock Stars and in class, we will add the 5 times tables and then finally the 2 times tables.
Secondly, Spelling Shed is now up and running. We will add 5 High Frequency Word (HFW) lists each week. These are words which most children in Y2 are expected to spell with confidence by the end of the year. The word list will stay for 3 weeks and then it will be removed (although we will revisit them again at a later date). Some word lists such as mathematical terms (shape names, numbers etc) will stay for longer periods of time, maybe even for the year.
Starting on Friday 19th (and each Friday after that) we will do a spelling test in school on the next word list to see how children are getting on. Eg; Friday 19th Oct- HFW 1 (word list), Friday 26th Oct – HFW2 (word list).
This means that they will have 3 weeks to build their knowledge of each word list.
A final reminder that we have our PE afternoon on Monday (8th Oct), so please ensure that your child has their PE kit and trainers in school on that day and that any jewellery is removed. We also ask that any outstanding pink forms (permission forms to take children on local walks, sports trips etc) are brought back to school ASAP as we are unable to take a child on the PE trip on Monday without a pink form.
Thank you again for your continued support.

If your child requires an inhaler they will need to bring this along with them. The cost of the trip will be funded using the Sports Premium Grant and therefore your child requires no money for the event.

Welcome back! We hope you all had a super Summer and are ready for another busy year ahead! We are!
Last year we sent out as many dates as we could at the start of the year and the feedback from parents was very positive. With this in mind, we have tried to plan visits, visitors and afternoons which parents are invited to, for the whole year so that you have the dates in your diaries. We have also included the cost of trips and whilst these are voluntary contributions, we must point out that if insufficient funds are collected, then we may have to cancel the trip. We have included a date in which we are asking for contributions to be paid by; however you are welcome to pay in smaller amounts using ParentPay leading up to the trip if you wish.
We hope the following information is helpful. (Please note that an email with the whole school dates on has been emailed to parents. These are extra dates, specifically for KS1 children).
Autumn 1 – ‘Eat Your Greens’ and ‘Fire! Fire!’ topic
15.10.18 – ‘Great Fire of London, Real History Alive.’ A visitor will come into school to spend the morning with Year 1 and Year 2 children. They will have the chance to learn about The Great Fire of London and be given lots of hands on opportunities which we would be unable to provide in the classroom. (We are asking for a voluntary donation of £4.50 to cover the cost of the visitor payable by 01.10.18).

We are also hoping to arrange a walk to Elsecar Park during the summer term. (Weather permitting). Date to be confirmed nearer the time.
We appreciate that this is a lot of information, but hope that as it covers the whole year, it gives parents ample notice for open afternoons and trip contributions. Should other events come up, we will endeavour to give you as much prior notice as we can. Letters, permission slips and emails will be sent our nearer the time which will provide you with extra information.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to pop in and ask any KS1 staff.
Kind Regards

Dear Parent/Carer,
Your child has been selected to represent the school in a Key Stage 1 & 2 non-competitive Goalball event at Joseph Locke School, on Friday 5th October 2018. The event will start at 1.30pm and will finish for 3.00pm. Goalball is a sport where they have to practise shooting, accuracy and passing whilst sitting down.
Your child will have their lunch before leaving for the venue at 1:00pm.
Children will travel to and from the venue via Beewise Coaches. Unfortunately parents are not able to attend this event.
Your child will be given a school PE shirt, but will need to bring suitable shorts, trainers, a drink of water and a bag for their belongings. The event will be held indoors. If your child requires an inhaler they will need to bring this along with them. The cost of the trip will be funded using the Sports Premium Grant and therefore your child requires no money for the event.
We are able to use the ‘Sporting Fixtures/Curricular Activities’ consent form for this event. If you have not already returned this form please do so as soon as possible to enable your child to participate.
If you have any questions or queries please contact me at school.
Yours faithfully,
Miss Cook
Dear All Parents,
Please find attached our latest Ellis News. The Ellis News 3 (Sept 18)
Please be aware that we have had an isolated incident of whooping cough in school which starts as an irritating cough and then progresses to the whooping sound. We do not expect any further incidents but felt we should make you all aware as it is not very common.
Thank you for your continued support,
Mrs Hurding
Dear Y1 and Y2 Parents,
We are very excited to let you know that we have arranged for a visitor to come into school to work with our Year 1 and Year 2 children during the morning of Monday 15th October. She will lead several workshops linked to the Great Fire of London and children will be able learn lots more about our historically based topic, ‘Fire! Fire!’.
It is the same company we used for our Florence Nightingale topic last year and both Mrs Wise and Mrs Trotter were very pleased with the visitor themselves, their knowledge, delivery of content, resources and the engagement of all the children. It was a fantastic morning with lots of hands on opportunities for all the children. We are confident that this visit will prove as exciting, fruitful and educational as the last.
In order to cover the cost of the visitor we are asking for a voluntary contribution of £4.50 payable via parentpay. We would be very grateful if any contributions could be paid by Monday 1st October. If insufficient funds are raised then we may not be able to go ahead with the visitor.
We have lots of other things planned including two more exciting trips and we will send out a full years newsletter on Monday with all the dates, trips, and parent afternoons (eg; maths afternoon, DT etc) which we hope will be of use.
Thank you as always for your support. It is much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Mrs Trotter (KS1 leader).
Dear All Parents,
Please can you bring in any Summer Reading Challenge certificates and medals your child may have by Friday so that we can show them to the rest of the school in our Gold Awards assembly?
Thank you,

Dear F2-Y6 Parent/Carer,
We would love for your child to use Spelling Shed as part of their school work and home learning.
We are excited to introduce the programme across school, we have trialled Spelling Shed with past pupils and found that it raised standards, the pupils enjoyed the games and were more engaged with spelling in school.
The Spelling Shed helps children to practise spelling via a simple game. The game gives four different degrees of support in the form of difficulty modes; Easy, Medium, Hard and Extreme. Higher levels allow a higher score to be achieved but children can practise as much as they like on lower levels before trying to gain high scores.
Spelling Shed also allows for homework and whole-class “Hive” games as a more fun and interactive form of a spelling test. Your child’s teacher will set lists of words that your child should practise and will monitor their progress.
Once your child has their login information they can access the online games via https://play.spellingshed.com.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your child’s class teacher.
Thank you for your continued support.

Dear Parents,
I will be running a free workshop for all parents / carers and grandparents of children within our Foundation Stage (F1 and F2).
The workshop will focus on ‘What to expect, when?’ and will offer you a valuable insight into how to support your child’s learning and development while they are in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
It will take place on Thursday, 27th September at 1.15pm and will be repeated again at 5pm.
The workshop will last for approximately half an hour and refreshments will be available free of charge.
I look forward to seeing you all there.

Attendance and Punctuality
Dear Parents and Carers,
These are the procedures in place to deal with attendance and punctuality.
Punctuality
In the morning doors open at 8.55am to enable children to get to their classrooms ready for a 9.00 am start.
Doors will close at 9.00 am and anyone arriving after this time must come in to school through the main entrance. The reason for the late arrival at school will be entered into the electronic registration system which the Education Welfare Officer sees at regular intervals throughout the year.
If your child is late 3 times in a half term you will receive a phone call from Mrs Gay. If your child is late more than 3 times then you will be invited to work with Mrs Gay to find a solution to enable your child to arrive at school on time.
School finishes at 3.20 pm. (F2 3.10pm). Parents should ensure that they are at school at 3.20 pm to collect their children. If parents are not able to collect their children at 3.20 pm then alternative arrangements must be made by the parents so that the children are picked up on time.
Please ensure that school are aware who will be collecting your children from school.
Parents are also asked that they ensure that their children are picked up on time from their after school activities.
In the interest of safeguarding your children, written consent is required if you are allowing your child to walk home unsupervised. A form will be sent out for you to sign at the start of each academic year. ( Year 4,5 and 6 only).
We accept that there are odd occasions when parents will be unavoidably delayed in picking up their children. If this happens you must telephone the school office as soon as you are aware that you will be delayed so that arrangements can be made to keep your child at school until you arrive. As pupils are of primary school age it is the parents’/carers’ responsibility to ensure that their children arrive at and are collected from school on time.
Absence from School
From September the 1st 2013 the DfES Statutory requirements states that parents do not have the right to take their child out of school for holidays during term time. Amendments to the Education(Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006 make clear that headteachers may not grant any leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances. If you wish to take your child out of school under these circumstances the ‘Leave of Absence in Term Time due to Exceptional circumstances’ form should be collected from Mrs Gay, completed and handed in to the office.
Attendance and punctuality will be taken into account prior to a decision being made with regards to exceptional circumstances.
If your child is ill the school should be contacted as soon as possible, preferably on the first day of absence, to give the reason for your child’s absence and a possible return to school date.
If school have not received a phone call to give a reason for the absence by 10.15 am, you will be contacted by the Attendance Officer.
Please note that attendance and punctuality are monitored rigorously both by school and the Education Welfare Service. When a child’s attendance level drops below 96.7% parents will receive a phone call and may be asked for evidence of a doctor’s appointment regarding any further absences. Mrs Gay will work with parents to improve attendance as poor attendance at school can result in fines for the parents.
If your child’s attendance drops below 90% it is classed as persistent absence and a letter will be sent home.
Medical/Dental Appointments
Wherever possible, medical/dental appointments must be made out of school hours.
It is important that children are present at registration to get their attendance mark. If your child arrives at school after 9.15am following a doctor or dental appointment they are marked in the register as ‘out for the whole morning’.
Please note. Children should be collected and returned to school by a parent/carer. This is for safeguarding and health and safety reasons. A telephone call, email or note should be sent in to school to inform the teacher that a child is to be collected for an appointment.
Attendance statistics are collected regularly throughout the year by the DfES and in order for school to achieve a good attendance record we rely on the support of parents/carers.
Thank you for your support in ensuring that we have good attendance and punctuality rates.
Yours sincerely
Mrs T. Gay

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Year 5 Educational Visit to Cannon Hall 21st November 2018, Y6 19th November As part of our Victorians topic this half term we have arranged a school visit to Cannon Hall to experience ‘life below stairs’. The purpose of this trip is to enrich our curriculum and give children an experience of what it was like to work for Mrs Spencer Stanhope during the Victorian period. Children will be experiencing life as kitchen staff, laundry maids, kitchen maids, under butlers and footman.
The total cost per pupil for the trip is £17.50 (including lunch) and can be paid through Parent Pay. Children will travel via coach which will leave school no later than 9:05am and return before home time. Your child will not need to bring a packed lunch as they will be cooking their own Victorian lunch.
I would be extremely grateful if you could send your child in Victorian clothes, ideas include:
Girls Boys:
Mop cap flat cap
Plain light blouse or shirt light coloured plain shirt
Plain dark long skirt large colourful hanky
Shawl (optional) long dark trousers
Dark boots or shoes black boots or shoes
Please could you complete the permission slip below and send with your child to school at the earliest possible opportunity.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, I am available before and after school. Thank you for your continued support.
Miss Saunders
Year 5 Class Teacher
Dear Y5,6, Parents/Guardians,
I would like to explain below the expectations of Y5,Y6 and what will be sent out each half term and each week.
Home Learning Projects
Thank you for the projects that have been brought in so far, they are fantastic. Every half term I will send out a sheet with some home learning project ideas on them relating to our topic. These are open ended tasks which will allow children to be creative in the way they want to present their learning. This half term our topic is ‘The Tudors’ and therefore our activities are based around this. There are some ideas on the sheet but please feel free to be creative and allow your child to present their learning in whichever way they want to. Your child may want to complete one longer task over the half term however they are welcome to complete more than one activity. Please do not feel obliged to complete them all though, I have just listed various starting points as ideas! When your child has fully completed their project, please bring them into school so we can celebrate their learning together. If it is something which cannot be transported to school (or has been eaten if it is food-related!) it would be lovely if you could send in a photograph of it or email a photograph to school using theellisprimary@gmail.com
Reading
Thank you to everyone for your support in reading during Year 4, some children have really impressed me, remembering their reading diary every day. As a school we encourage children to continue reading at home as it is a vital part of developing all areas of English- including writing. If your child doesn’t enjoy reading books allow them to read using technology, it still counts! Newspapers and magazines as well as other non-fiction texts (like football programmes) also provide great opportunities for potentially reluctant readers. Please ensure that your child’s reading diary has been signed and that it is in school every day. We expect children in Years 5 and 6 to read at least three times per week.
Spellings
Spellings will be given out every Friday, children will have a week to practise and will be tested the following Friday, this is in preparation for SATS in Y6. A good strategy for learning spellings is to use the strategy ‘LOOK – COVER – WRITE – CHECK’. This follows the simple process of LOOK (allow your child the chance to look at the word), COVER (as it says cover it up, no peeking!), WRITE (write the word down), CHECK (check the spelling against the word, discussing what errors have been made if any). Repeat the process as they practise the word again. There are also some amazing interactive games on Spelling Shed- your child has a log on in the front of their spelling journal and reading record. I will set weekly tasks on Spelling Shed, these will be related to the spellings allocated on a Friday.
Maths
Rapid recall of times tables is essential in Y5, therefore I would like to ask children to continue to practise their times tables at home, at least weekly, as part of their home learning. They can use Times Table Rockstars or other iPad/web games to do this.
I have sent home some mathematical problems and puzzles for your child to have a go at (if they would like to). I will be awarding Class Dojos to the children for any completed tasks. They can be done weekly or, alternatively, they can save them and bring them in before the end of the half term. I intend to discuss the solutions in the final week of the half term. If your child does not complete them that is fine, this is completely optional.
Thank you for your continued support. I can’t wait to see some of their fantastic projects!

Dear Parents / Carer
I’m writing to inform you that our year 5 children will be taking part in the Young Leaders Award this year. We’re really excited to be involved in this programme which has been designed and written by the Archbishop of York Youth Trust. For more information visit www.abyyt.com.
The Young Leaders Award aims to equip young people to be the change they want to see in their local communities, and through a number of interactive lessons and practical challenges our pupils will be involved in serving their community and making a difference. The award is currently available at Key stage 2, 3 and 4, and there are thousands of students across the North of England all taking part in changing their communities for the better.
We have started the programme today and look forward to all that our pupils will do to serve the local community. There may be opportunities for parents and family members to get involved in the community action projects that will take place later in the year, and we will be in touch with more details nearer the time.
At the end of the award each student will receive a certificate in our whole school award’s assembly to celebrate and share their success.
Thank you in anticipation for your support with this venture.
Yours sincerely
