Spring 1

May we start by wishing you all a Happy New Year! We hope you managed to have a peaceful and restful time over the festive period. The children have settled back into school this week and have made a superb start to the new term. They have come back enthusiastically and are eager to learn and apply their knowledge and skills. Once again, we were extremely impressed with the homework that was handed in and uploaded onto Seesaw at the end of last half term. It was clear how much effort and creativity had been put into the work produced. Keep it up kids and thank you parents and carers for your continued support.

This curriculum newsletter will tell you all about the units and areas of learning being covered in this first Spring half term. We have started th is half term writing letters to our American pen pals in De Pere, Wisconsin. They have sent us photographs of themselves and we would like to do the same in return. Please let us know no later than Friday 16th January should you not want your child’s photograph to be sent.  All the children will be learning the same topics but will cover the specific year group expectations for Year 3 and Year 4. Our topic this half term is called ‘What lies underneath my skin?’ which links beautifully with our Science and Design Technology topics.

Please note our PE day has changed to Monday for this half term. Ukulele continues every Thursday.
