Welcome to the Summer Term!

This half term we will be learning all about the human body in science: digestion and teeth being our main focus.  In Geography, we'll be comparing and contrasting modern Greece with the UK and we'll be writing our own persuasive leaflets in our English lessons.

Music will continue to be on Wednesday afternoons - brass instruments will be required as we continue to practice for our performance with the Halle orchestra (more info to follow in a separate letter).

A few reminders:

Soft opening 8:40-8:50 and collection is at 3:20.

Reading

Please encourage your child to read at home with an adult at least three times per week. 

PE

Friday is our PE day - we'll be swimming so children need to bring their swimming kit and a towel with them.

Homework

Theme homework will be online, with instructions on TEAMS. This may include use of Microsoft Teams, Times Table Rockstars, Spelling Shed and Purple Mash. Login details are in your child's reading record. If you experience any problems accessing the online content please let us know!

We'll also be sending out one or two pieces of paper based homework each week. This will be sent out on a Wednesday to be returned on Monday.

Equipment

Pupils need to bring in a water bottle, a snack (and packed lunch, if desired) each day. All children will be provided with their own school equipment so there is no need to send in pencil cases etc.
