Welcome back after a lovely Easter break. This terms topic is ‘What do we know about our world?’, the summer term is always a busy one with Sports Week, SAT’s and a Residential.
We will soon be holding a residential meeting to go through everything we will be doing with the group leader from learning outside the classroom. He will explain everything the children will be doing, where they will be staying and the types of things we will be eating. A letter with exact time and date will be given out closer to the time.
Over the next few weeks the children will be preparing for their SATS, we will be looking at past papers and going through the best ways to tackle things. These will be completed throughout May in small groups and we have lots of fun and exciting things planned in between.
