Welcome to the Spring Term!
This term we are looking forward to teaching some exciting topics, such as: South America in Geography, Healthy Bodies in Science (we will be dissecting an Ox's heart), creating vases in Art, building bird boxes in DT and coding in Computing. During the first half-term, PE will be Boxercise and will take place on Wednesday afternoon and Games on Thursday afternoon. Please ensure that you have the correct, warm kit in school and all earrings are removed, or tape is applied.
As part of SATs preparation, we will be running a club after school on Thursday. It will be an exciting hour with free tea and biscuits! Please join us!
Welcome to Reading in Year 5/6...
This year, as a school, we are focusing 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 always question them about 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. 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
