We are looking forward to continuing our learning journey with all of the children in Birch class and sharing this learning as the year progresses.
General Information:
-
Your child should come to school with their PE Kit on Tuesdays and Fridays this term. Our PE Kit consists of a navy PE top, blue/black shorts/jogging bottoms and trainers. Please ensure your child has suitable clothing for outdoor learning on both days.
-
Reading diaries must be in school at the beginning of each day. The expectation is that each child will read at home at least three times a week. This will be checked by the class teacher on Thursdays. Please make sure parents or guardians sign the diary.
- Children can access 'Times Tables Rockstars' at home. Please can children be encouraged to practice at least 3 times a week.
If you have a question, please don't hesitate to ask.
Our learning in the Summer term:
- In Maths we will be learning fractions/decimals, measurement, geometry and statistics.
