Welcome back! We hope you have all had a restful and joyful Christmas break which was filled with lots of wonderful family time. As we begin the new year together, we are as always excited to share with you, some of the learning which will be taking place during Spring term.

 

Not only is Spring term historically shorter, is also a time where we often see the children making lots of progress in their learning. Therefore, excellent attendance is essential this term. 

 

For more details about our learning this term, please see the  Curriculum Overview..

 ​

 

Our PE sessions have changed for this term. They will now take place on a Tuesday afternoon (outdoor) and Wednesday morning (indoor).

 

Children will need to come to school in their PE uniforms on these days. It would also be appreciated if all uniform (including PE) is labelled with your child’s full name and class.

Please can we remind parents/ carers that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days.

 

Class 8 will receive swimming lessons, as the National Curriculum states, this term as part of their PE lessons. This will replace their outdoor PE session. A letter was sent home at the end of Autumn term with more details on this, however please ask if you require a replacement letter.

P.E
Reading

Children will continue to receive reading books linked to their ability from school and a library books, they have the opportunity to change these weekly during our library slot. We encourage your children to read as many times as they can weekly and fill in progress/ areas to develop in their reading diaries. This will also be filled out by a class teacher as a form of communication between home and school. This will significantly support their learning. We like children to bring these to school with them each day with their reading book band books.

Spellings

Children in year 5 will also continue to have 2 Oak academy lessons per week and will receive weekly spellings to aide with spelling practise.

Finally, children will have the exciting opportunity to visit Carding Mill Valley to support their learning in Geography this term. Further details of this will follow at a later date.

​

The gate to the playground will be opened at 8.35am and closed at 9.00am. Late children will need to report to the main office.

 

We look forward to working with you over the next year to ensure your children have a valuable year. If you have any questions/queries now or throughout the year, please do not hesitate to speak to us. Thank you for your continued support.
