Dear Parents/Carers,

This is just a reminder to let you know that the children have PE on a Thursday and Friday so they will need a full kit, including trainers in school on these days.

On a Friday the children have football so need to make sure they bring trainers which are okay to get muddy and also a plastic bag to put them in afterwards. Football boots are allowed.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt

Dear Parents/Carers,

I have sent home a copy of our school handwriting patter which we follow in class. This is so that you can help your child to form their letters properly and reinforce how we teach them at school – this will particularly help them with their spelling homework (please see the front of their spelling books for a note about this).

Any questions, please don’t hesitate to pop in and ask.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt

Dear Parents/Carers,

As part of our science work next week we will be going for a walk around Bicton village to see if we can spot different materials and find out what they are being used for.

This will be on Tuesday 19^th September. Please can you ensure your child has a coat in school on that day. If you do not wish your child to take part in the walk please let me know by Monday 18^th September.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt

English: We have continued our work on poetry this week and the children have written some poems similar to the ones they have read. They wrote their own ‘Sounds in the evening’ poem where they described all the different sounds they can hear at night time. We have been revising adjectives, adverbs, prepositions and fronted adverbials through this work and the children have been challenged to use these within their writing,

Maths: We have been doing some work on measurement this week. The children have been measuring in mm, cm and m and have done some work on converting these measurements.

Science: This week we have learned about the pollination process and have had a go at describing and ordering the process.

Geography: We have ended our work on settlements by designing our own settlement and creating a map of it. The children were very good at giving reasons for their positions of the different features and including a key on their map.

This week we have spent some time preparing and practising for celebration assembly and the children had a great day on transition day in Class 4.

Just so you are aware, the children have not been given new spellings for next week due to it being the end of term.

As it is the last week of term next week, please could you ensure your child brings a carrier bag to school as throughout the week we will be sending home children’s work from this year.

Thank you! Enjoy your weekend!

Dear Parents/Carers,

Just a reminder that your child will need to bring a raincoat and wellies (or trainers that they don’t mind getting wet) to school this week. These will need to stay school all week so that your child can take part in our English and Maths lessons outside this week.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt

Dear Parents/Carers,

Next week we are doing some outdoor learning linked to both our English and Maths work. We are planning to go out whatever the weather so please can your child bring in suitable clothing to school. The weather is set to be quite changeable throughout the week so it would be good if your child could bring clothing suitable for both wet and warm weather – wellies, raincoat, sun hat and sun cream. I have asked the children to bring in their clothing on Monday and leave it in school until Friday. The children still need to wear school uniform each day.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Miss Barratt
