We can’t quite believe that we have finished our first week in Year 3 and 4 ! We have had such a great first week in our new classes, making new friends and getting stuck straight into school life and learning after our six week break.

Each week we will be sending out an update for parents/carers to let you all know what we have been up to in lower key stage 2 🙂

We have sent all of the children home with new reading diaries and reading books this week, we encourage the children to read to/with an adult at home at least 4 times a week and for the adult to sign their reading diaries to let us know when they have read, it could be reading just for 5 minutes if that’s all that can be squeezed in 🙂

Reading 4 times a week will earn the children a tick on our reading rocket record, each tick leads to a bronze, silver and eventually a gold reading award. If you have any questions/queries about the children’s books, please let us know as the book banding is slightly different to KS1. 

Here is our plan for the Autumn term (1st half), our topic is ‘My identity and my heritage’. Medium term plan – website

Thank you for your support,

The children have worked so hard to earn themselves a treat afternoon this Friday for the last day of the year. They would like to bring in a suitable toy that they can play with in the afternoon. I have suggested a board game or something they can play with with their friends (no valuables or electricals please).

I have also said to the children that if they can/would like to, to bring in a snack/treat item to eat in the afternoon. I will also provide some party style food to share so please don’t feel that you have to go out and buy something especially.

This is in addition to the ‘bring a soft toy’ to school on Thursday afternoon as their treat for getting to sit on the benches in assembly 3 times this year.

Thanks for your support.
Miss Taylor.

As you are probably already aware, the children have come home today with their end of year reports and their times tables check results. Inside their report envelopes are also the letters to tell you/them what class they will be in next year.

We hope you are pleased with your child/children’s reports, we are so pleased with their attitudes and progress made. Well done all 🙂 

This week we have delivered the relationships and sex education programme to the children. They were all SO mature and respectful. The boys and girls were taught separately for the final two lessons so that any questions that may arise (of which there were lots) could be suited to a particular gender at that particular time.  We hope that the children’s questions have been answered during the lessons but if there is anything else they would like to ask/think of, we have question boxes in our classroom that they can use.

Here is our Summer 2 topic overview to share what we have been and will be learning about over the next few weeks. – Half-term overview Latitude and Longitude

Just a polite reminder that children should be coming into school on non-PE days in the correct school uniform. There have been a few incidents this week of children coming to school in their own shorts/trainers when we haven’t had PE.

Another week has flown by!

Thank you for your continued support.
