Reading Books.
Reading books are changed weekly.
Please either read with your child or encourage them to read independently for at least 20 minutes each time.
Please encourage the children to read a wide range of books, any reading is better than no reading at all.
Reading books must be in school every day so that their progress can be monitored.
The children may also need to read to an adult during the day.
PE Kits.
Children have PE once a week. Please ensure that all children have the correct PE kit- which comprises of plain white T.Shirt, plain black leggings/joggers, plain black hoody/jacket and plain black trainers .
PE lessons are on Fridays each week.
SOME PE WILL BE OUTDOORS - PLEASE ENSURE CHILDREN HAVE SUITABLE CLOTHING IN THEIR KIT.
(THIS MUST INCLUDE TRAINERS AND A WARM JACKET).
Some children will also need a change of clothes for Forest School and outdoor learning during the course of the year, you will be informed if your child is taking part in Forest School.
Don't forget that PE kit needs to be worn for any after school sport clubs too, so must be available for those.

We will continue our dual narrative/suspense writing during creative writing and we will begin to write an explanation text based on a cross-curricular context.
In Maths:
We will be focusing on SATs preparation for the first 3 weeks and then look at shape in more detail.

We will explore animals and their habitats.
In Geography: We will locate, compare and contrast the four countries that make up the UK.
