On this page you will find weekly updates about what the children are learning in literacy, maths and phonics so you can support at home. Our termly curriculum maps provide an outline of what the children will learn across all subjects. More detailed information for a particular subject can be found in the curriculum area of the website.
Our PE days this term will be Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please make sure all your child’s clothes are clearly named.
Most importantly, please keep remembering to read with your child at least 5 times a week so that Orlando the owl will hopefully come and visit us!
If you need to catch up with us about anything we are available before or after school or you can email the office to arrange a time to meet.

Turtle Class have been learning about how beans grow. We started by growing beans in bags in the classroom and watched the roots growing. They have got so big that we have now moved them outside to the planters, to watch them grow tall!
Week beginning 5th June
This term, the children will be having tennis sessions, ran by an external company, on a Tuesday morning (they will still be having their other PE slot on a Wednesday). They will be starting at 9:10, so it would be really helpful if you could send your child in already dressed in PE kit, in the morning (uniforms in bags so we can get them changed again). I will send home their PE kits every Friday, ready for Tuesday the following week. Thank you!
Welcome back! We hope you have had a lovely half term!
