We hope everybody is having a Happy Easter so far. We now forward to a challenging term with a creative curriculum focussing on our topic 'Crime Scene Investigation'. Also, we have our Summer residential and SATS test week to consider. Please see below the answers to the Easter packs we have provided and we appreciate all of the efforts with these.
We will be providing homework for our pupils weekly on a Friday. One Maths and English Homework as well as their weekly spellings.
Important Reminders
School starts at 8:45 and ends at 15:00 with an hour lunch at 12:15pm.
Please ensure you sanitise your hands on arrival into class and keep a social distance at all times. Make sure you have your own bottle of water otherwise your own personal cup will be provided.
Children should be as smart as possible with the correct footwear.
We have P.E. every Friday PM (Mr. Moore). Please ensure your child has the correct, labelled kit and footwear in school and earrings are removed.
Homework and Spellings are given out on a Friday and are due back in school the following Friday. Please practise your spellings everyday.
Our topic 'Kingdom of the Emperors' covers Japan and China so any extra research on this will be very beneficial.
Please read with your child as often as possible at home and write a comment in their reading diary. Reading diaries will be collected every Friday where children should have at least three signatures from home. Daily reading with an adult can increase their enthusiasm, fluency and expression and help them progress even further. Please encourage your child to read a Non-Fiction book once a week.
Multiplication Tables
I have added some tests that you can use to help you to remember your times tables. Please look at the link below. If you do not have a printer at home, you could write down your calculations on paper.
