Class 4
Welcome to the Summer Term!
This term we are looking forward to teaching some exciting topics: in science we will be learning about properties and changes in materials and life cycles; Goldilocks and The Three Bears in French; History is about Medieval Tewkesbury with a visit to Medfest in July and The Shang Dynasty. The theme of China is continuing in Art with Chinese Art. We are also looking after our mental health in PSHE.
Our production this year is 'He-Ha!' by Craig Hawes and will be staged at Bushley Village Hall on Thursday 10th July in the evening. There is also Bellboating along the River Severn, an exciting trip to London to see 'Wicked' and many more science and sports trips.
SATs Week is Monday 12th May - Thursday 15th May.
Reading in Year 5/6...
As a school, we are continuing to focus on developing all of our children as enthusiastic readers. Therefore, reading will be a key part of the curriculum and timetable. As well as Guided Reading, your child will be expected to read independently or with an adult daily. Please can you ensure your child has their reading book and blue home/school diary in school every day. Please sign the home/school diary when you have listened to them read at home. When listening to your child read, please can you discuss what they have read to check that they are reading with understanding and inference. If you would like a set of question prompts to use with your child, please see the resources section on the class page.
We are also running a 'Grand Draw' raffle system whereby, when a child reads five consecutive times and has a signature from an adult, they receive a raffle ticket to add to the class jar. At the end of every half-term, a golden ticket is drawn and the lucky winner will receive a non-uniform day pass.
The last thing we would like to say is that our door is always open; it is vitally important that the children feel safe, happy and secure. Please feel free to come and speak to/call us at the end of the school day if you have any concerns.
Best Wishes
Emma Carolan and Sarah George
