Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope you have had a
wonderful Easter holiday. Welcome back!

General reminders
This terms Homework grid will be issued shortly. Please can the homework be uploaded to Teams as Dojo’s are given for completed pieces of work.
Please send Reading books with their Reading Records into school regularly. Every effort is made to read with your child at least once a week. We would appreciate it if you could comment and write down page numbers completed at home in their Reading Record.
Wednesday will be our Outdoor and PE day. Please ensure your child wears appropriate clothing on these days.
Spelling tests will also be held on a Wednesday. Information for these are on Teams.
It is each child's responsibility to look after their own things but name and class labelling really helps as we can return lost items back to their owners quickly.
We encourage the children to keep water bottles in class to keep them hydrated throughout the day.
Please ensure children bring a healthy snack to school for playtimes.

This terms topic is:
Misty Mountain, Windy River
This project teaches children about the characteristics and features of rivers and mountain ranges around the world, including a detailed exploration of the ecosystems and processes that shape them and the land around them.
We will be writing stories set by and on rivers and in the wonderful landscape around them. We might even be moved to create some magical poetry!
A visit to our local river is a must which will involve brushing up on our map reading skills.
Creatively we will look at artists such as Monet, who created water inspired art work. We will look at what makes a good boat and try to make our own out of recycled materials.
A calming and relaxing topic to finish the year off with...just like lazing by a river on a sunny afternoon...

Class Book
This term we will be reading The river Singers by Tom Moorhouse.
Four young water voles are forced to abandon their home and set off on a dangerous and eventful journey to find a safe place to live.

If you have any questions please
contact Mrs Goddard through email on Teams.
Thank you.
