Dear Parents, Carers  I hope you've had a restful February break, and the children are eager to return to school. They have been working ever so hard last half term, and I hope they're buzzing to get started on our What did the Windrush scandal teach us topic. In Geography, they will be researching about The HMS Windrush; we will be linking this knowledge closely to our writing skills.  In science, the children will be organising and running the Science Fair, which takes part in British Science Week on 10th March 2025 and a visit to Rayner Stephens on the 18th March. This term, we have our outdoor activities day organised on Monday 31st March. Please keep an eye out for emails from Mrs Parker. PE days have now changed. We now have PE on Monday and Friday afternoons, where the children will be learning Volleyball and  Cricket. This term there is a SATS meeting for parents at 3:30 on Monday 17th March where we will share vital information about your child's upcoming assessments. This term we will be fine-tuning the children's reasoning skills in maths, and developing their understanding of grammatical terminology. To ensure that the children are not overwhelmed by their assessments, they will be completing the 2024 papers as a MOCK SATS test starting on the 24th March.  Please find attached the MTP for Spring 2. There is no creative home learning this half term. However, it is expected that the children put some effort into revising terminology and skills that we have practised in class.  The children are very welcome to come into school every morning from 8:15 to use SATS companion or SPaG.com to revise from the 10th March until the 9th May. If they are unable to attend, work will be set daily to support their learning which they can access at home.
