Welcome back to a brand-new term and another exciting academic year! We can’t wait to get started, explore our new topics and enjoy learning together with all of you!

This term in English we will be exploring a range of different texts and genres. The text we are basing our writing on this term are The Abominables. We have lots of exciting writing activities planned around this text and are covering poetry, instruction writing and narrative.
Our class book this term is The Abominables – you are welcome to buy the book and read it at home.

Reading
Please ensure your child brings in their reading record and current reading book to school every day as this will enable us to monitor your child’s reading development and progress throughout the term and year. Please encourage your child to read at home as much as possible and record any comments, queries or issues in their reading record also as these are an excellent means of communication between home and school.
I will check your child’s reading record, put my initials and change books if they are needed. Please ensure, however, that the Reading Record is signed or we will presume your child has not read and therefore not change their reading book. Raffle tickets will be awarded for reading at home. There are often rewards for consistently reading at home.
Physical Education (P.E)
This term PE will be on a Tuesday (indoors) with Mrs Johnson and Friday (weather permitting, outdoors) with JB Sport. Please ensure your child comes into school in a suitable P.E. kit in school.
Swimming will start again during the Spring Term in February.

Extra housekeeping!
Please ensure that children have their uniform labelled so we can easily find items if they are misplaced. This includes making sure water bottles are in school daily and have their name on.
If you have any questions regarding your child’s progress, or you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact school office or arrange a meeting.
