Term 5:

A warm welcome back to term 5. I am so pleased to be back after a short period of illness, I missed everyone very much but know the children we in great hands with Mrs Fidge and our fab TA's. The countdown to the SATS is here. The children have been working so hard this year and I hope they can be excited to show the progress they have made. Although I think they may just be looking forward to having the cooked breakfast in the mornings! 

I hope you have all the information you need now, however if you have an queries please give us a call or contact [email protected].

Our topic this term is a Geography focus: Where does our energy come from? We will be carrying out some field work in the local area.

Our class text is Wonder. The children may have seen the film adaptation, however if they haven't I would be grateful if they could wait until the last week of term when we shall watch it together. After the SATS we are hoping to have a celebration, so please watch this space for the details closer to the time. The SATS will take place on the mornings 13th-16th May.

Our PE days are Monday and Friday. The children may come to school dressed in their PE kits on these days. 

Please check the topic web below to find out about all the other fantastic learning your child will do in Term 5. I have not included a new home learning menu this term as I hope the children will focus on spellings, times table rock stars and SATS revision. If you would like some additional homework prepared, please contact the office who will pass the message to me. The weekly timetable is available as usual. 

Reading

 Please encourage the children to complete a quiz, once they have finished their reading books.

The children get house points for reading at home so make sure to sign the purple book so they can get their points counted. Children should bring their reading book home every day with their reading record to note down how many pages they have read. Please try to hear your child read at least once a week. Children need to bring their book into school every day, and once they have finished it they will be able to complete a quiz to assess their understanding. 

Spellings

Children will have a spelling sheet each week to complete, and a statutory word list. They can test themselves colour the spellings once they know them. Completed sheets can be returned for raffle tickets!

Thank you for your continued support, and a huge thanks to the children for always working hard to get the best out of their learning. They are truly amazing!

Bring on Term 5!

Best wishes,

Miss Leitch
