Lost Property

Please remember to clearly label each item of clothing belonging to your child. It makes reuniting them with lost items so much easier and helps them to take responsibility for their property.

Learning At Home

Weekly Home Learning is set using Google Classrooms. Login details remain the same as previous years and will be written in the back of reading journals. Please let us know if you are having any problems in accessing or using Google Classrooms and we will help you to sort them out as quickly as possible.

Home Learning - reading, spellings, maths fluency and times tables - will be posted on a Friday. Our spelling test will be on the following Friday. Please make sure you click on 'mark as done' to tell me you have completed your tasks at home!

Science Week! 

 We are really looking forward to taking part in National Science Week! The focus of this year’s event, which runs from Monday 10 March, is Change and Adapt. We want to challenge our young scientists to do some field work to find out more about how the natural world adapts to different conditions. For our Under the Stars event, we would like all our children to get outside with their adults on Friday 14 March to see how animals, insects and plants adapt to a dark night time world. Take photos and record your findings and we will be sharing our research at Celebration Assembly the following week. We’ll have special certificates for all those who take part! 

There is also a brilliant David Attenborough documentary called 'Night on Earth' which can be found on Netflix. This will be a informative watch to gather more knowledge on nocturnal animals.

There are also some fun online activities you can take part in to develop your scientific skills even more! Follow these links to find out more:
