Europa 2022 - 2023
Mr Nightingale
Welcome to the Europa class page!
Mr Nightingale, Miss Gurney, Miss Futia
On here, you can find general info about our class, as well as seeing some of the learning we're up to each term.
I'll do my best to keep it updated as much as possible with links to games and websites that will enhance the learning experience the whole Europa team!
However, do keep following our class Twitter page, which will be added to more regularly with daily/weekly snippets of what we're up to in (or out) of the classroom.
Christmas song: This year we will be performing Merry Christmas Everyone! Here's a link to a video with lyrics - we will be practising this and will record ourselves in December. We'll send you all a video so you can see our performing artists in action!!
General info
Reading Books
Reading is SO hugely beneficial to all of us, and the more we can read on a regular basis, the better! Reading records and reading books should be brought in every day. Please make sure they are signed and dated and if you have time please comment to show us how they are enjoying their reading.
In Europa, children will receive the following for regular reading:
3 x per week = 1 Golden Ticket
4 Golden Tickets = 1 prize from the prize basket!
Obviously, these little incentives are there to encourage the children into dedicating some time to reading.
However, the BEST thing we can all do is remind children everything that reading can offer outside of this:
knowledge
mindfulness
escapism
understanding of the world around us
emotional maturity
creative imagination
PE
For Autumn term, our PE sessions will be weekly swimming lessons! Please can children come to school every Tuesday wearing their sports kits.
They will also need to bring their swimming kits on this day (including a cap and goggles if they have them!)
This is such an amazing opportunity for the children to develop a really important life skill!
The Europa Team
We are so lucky to have a whole host of amazing adults working in Europa this year!
We're all feeling so excited about getting to know the children and getting stuck in to what will hopefully be an exciting year!
