Read MoreTerm 6!
Published 05/06/23, by Joshua CialisWelcome to Term 6! As we enter the last 7 weeks of the school year, I'd just like to remind you all of how wonderful you are! You have all put your mind to learning this year so well done!
This is going to be a very busy term. In maths, we will start off looking at time and then explore statistics and shape. In English, we will be reading The London Eye Mystery by Siabhan Dowd. Our topic this term is 'A World of Buildings.'
You will need your PE kits on Tuesday and Wednesday (now that the weather is getting warmer it would be an idea to bring a sun hat).

Monday: Art. Tuesday: Musical Theatre & PE. Wednesday: PE & Music. Thursday: DT & Computing.

We will be travelling to Upton Junior to take part in the Viking Games. Please can all children arrive as normal for 8:30am on the day of the competition. We will be leaving promptly to walk to the station to catch the train.
Children should come to school wearing their PE kits, ideally with a t-shirt of their house colour if possible, and wearing sports trainers.

They will also need a packed lunch as we are going to eat lunch at Upton. If your child is eligible for Free School Meals, they will receive a school packed lunch.
If you think your child would benefit from reading the social story, it is attached below.
