Autumn Term 2024
We are so excited to welcome you back to school after the summer!
Have a look at what we will be doing this half term.
This term is packed with exciting learning adventures! In Geography, we will discover the amazing diversity of North and South America, exploring their unique places and landscapes. In Science, we’ll dive into the world of living things and their habitats. Art classes will be all about mastering drawing and painting techniques, letting students get creative. PE will keep things lively with cricket and swimming, and in RE, students will explore fascinating creation stories from different cultures.
Dates for your diary
The Key Stage 2 SATs are timetabled from Monday 12th May to Thursday 15th May 2025
Homework
Homework is given out on a Monday and should be returned to school by the following Monday. Children should complete their homework over the week and if there are any issues or anyone is struggling, staff are on hand throughout the week to support where needed.
Spellings are given out every week on Monday to learn for a quiz on a Friday.
All children are expected to practise their times tables using Times Tables Rockstars – all children have been given their username and password.
P.E.
This term, year 6’s PE slot is on a Tuesday afternoon.
Please make sure your child has a white PE top, blue PE shorts and trainers in school with them on this day.
We will be swimming on a Friday and children should make sure they bring their swimming costume and towel into school every Friday.
Home Reader
It is expected for children to read at home every day.
Children should return their book to school daily, so they have the opportunity to read with adults in school. Please sign your child’s reading record book when they have read – a minimum of three times a week. When children have completed a book, they will be able to complete a quiz based on the book they have read. These results will be recorded in your child’s home reader. Points and prizes will be awarded for completing quizzes.
Children who are unable to read at home will be given the opportunity to read in school if books are not returned.
Please feel free to see us or write in your child’s Home-School Contact Book if there are any issues. It is essential that home and school communicate effectively, working together to ensure your child receives the very best from school.
All passwords are in your child’s reading record book.
