See you there!BHM2 POSTER SEPT 2021 Poster
Dear Parents and Carers,
This week is assessment week so please discuss with your child what is means as it is all based on what they have been learning at school.
We will focus on Maths, Phonics, Reading and Writing across the curriculum.
Well done to all the parents who have read with their child and signed their reading records as there has been improvement.
Please ensure your child’s books and reading records stay inside their book bags daily as we also read with them at school.
Competition reminder for years 1 to 6: Make sure you check the letters that were previously in their book bag. Also look at your year groups door entry for the notice.
Pyjama day is this Friday and we are looking forward to it.
Thank you
Year 1 Team
Hello all,
We have had a busy week in Year 3 this week! In Maths, we started the week with some more column method work before moving on to estimating and rounding, which is reflected in the homework for this week.
In our Learning Across the Curriculum lessons, we have been looking at stone age jewellery and tools, including looking at the materials and methods used to create them. We even had some children pitching their ‘inventions’ in a Dragons Den-style pitch!
The skill we have been focusing on in DR has been ‘inferring’, so please test the children on this skill over the weekend. We read ‘Stone Age Boy’ as a class this week, which the children seemed to enjoy lots.
We saw huge improvements in the home reading engagement levels this week (with a year 3 class winning the school-wide home reading competition), so please keep this enthusiasm going for the coming weeks as it has really reflected in class!
Have a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing everyone Monday!
Mrs Campbell-Whitfield and Mr Ward

Below is a message from our student council, please have a read!
“Hi, we are the student council from Oliver Goldsmith Primary School.
We have a great school but it is in a very busy part of London and the traffic is all around us. We want to add lots of green space to our school playground where we can play and learn. We want to grow plants, flowers, trees and vegetables so that we can create a positive environment.
We want to use re-cycled materials to support our planting, seating and shade in the playground.
This is all very expensive so this is why we are trying to raise funds to help us create a future proof, environmentally positive space.
We would love to be able to do this so we are asking for your kind donation to support us with this. Thank you.”
Any donations would be hugely appreciated! Follow this link to find out more:

Hello all!
It has been a fast-paced first week back, making a great start to the new half term.
In maths this week, we have been covering addition and subtraction using the column method.
We have also introduced our new topic which is Through the Ages. We have talked about what history is and dived into the different periods within the Stone Age. Our DR lessons have been linked to this, reading the book Cavekid Birthday whilst focusing on predicting.
Our science topic this half term is Magnets and Forces, so this week we began looking at some of the different forces. This will be covered more throughout the half term.
Please keep reading with children at home. It is essential that parents leave comments in the reading records so we have a good understanding of what is happening at home.
Enjoy the weekend and we look forward to another great week next week.
Mrs Campbell-Whitfield and Mr Ward
Welcome back! We hope you had a great rest over the half term break.
This week we are reading a book called “We’re going on a leaf hunt”. The children have been enjoying a range of Autumn activities such as leaf rubbing, nature walks, singing songs about Autumn and going on our first school trip to Lucas gardens on our own leaf hunt. We found some beautiful leaves!
In Phonics we are learning the sounds /h/ /b/ and /f/.
Check your bookbags for the homework to complete over the half term. Choose one activity a week. We can’t wait to see what your children have done at home.
Thank you
From the Reception team

It has been a lovely half term and it was so good to meet with you all for the parents’ evening this week. The children are doing so well with their learning.
We are all looking forward to the half term break!
After half term can you please bring in a pair of wellies/boots for your child to wear outside?
With the colder weather we will continue to learn outside so make sure they have nice warm hats and gloves and coats too.
Our topic after the break is Changes. We will be looking at the changes in the seasons. Over the break encourage your child to notice the changes in nature and talk about it. Bring any nice leaves that may fall to the ground, or conkers and acorns too.
Have a restful and healthy half term
