Welcome back to Term 2! This term we have busy and exciting weeks ahead!
We start on Friday6th November with our Golden Ticket Breakfast Books event. Join us in Atlantis Class from 8:45am to share a story and then enjoy a tea, coffee and some biscuits in the hall with other parents. Don’t forget your Golden Ticket as every ticket entered is in with a chance to win a prize!
As authors, we will be starting to work on our new book, The Promise. A fantastic picture book about a young thief who makes a promise and makes the world a better place.
As mathematicians, we will be exploring the concept of multiplication and fractions. You can help at home by continuing to encourage your child to play Times Table Rock Stars. This times table knowledge is the foundation of all the skills we will be learning and practicing this term.
As historians, we will be going back in time to learn about the violent history of our royal heritage and The War of the Roses!
As scientists, we will be exploring the properties of materials, how they can change and their uses.
As design technicians, we will be making some festive bakes – a real Christmas delight!
And as performers, we will be working hard on producing our Christmas Nativity. We will send more details soon, but we really hope you can all make it to the show!
Please can you ensure your child reads at home and completes their reading records. This is really useful in identifying areas for support and building a love of reading in our students.
TTRS should be played little and often – 5 minutes a day will have a huge impact on knowledge, recall, confidence and the cognitive load as we move into more complex multiplication structures.
Our P.E. days will remain the same as term 1: Tuesday and Wednesday. We will be outside for the majority of these sessions so please ensure your child is in appropriate sports kit and they bring in a coat.
The school uniform policy can be found on our website
(Download: School Uniform Policy).
Please ensure your child is wearing the appropriate uniform on all non-P.E. days.
The uniform expectations:
• Grey/ black/ dark blue trousers, skirt or pinafore
• White shirt or polo shirt.
• Blue sweatshirt or cardigan
• Grey/ black/ dark blue skirt, pinafore or trousers.
• Shorts or blue and white check dress in summer.
• Grey tights or white/grey/black socks.
