Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope you have had a
wonderful Christmas holiday. Welcome back to 2022

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:
Mighty Metals!
We will imagine we are engineers, scientists and makers of men (iron men of course). We will explore the scientific worlds of forces and magnetism, metals and materials.
We hope to expand our minds and find out what forces there are when you slide down a slide or swing on a swing! Magnets will also be explored and why they repel and attract.
Our novel will be The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. We will find out that the Iron Man wants a friend so we will have to build one for him.
Such a Mighty topic for a Mighty class!

Class Book
This term we will be reading The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. At the end of the term we will be watching The Iron Giant animation film and comparing the book to the film.

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