News and Reminders:

*Coats - please ensure that your child brings a coat to school every day.  Even on days where it does not seem like it is going to rain, it quite often does!  It is therefore important that they bring in a coat to ensure that they stay warm and dry.

*PE Days - Term 3: Monday (Indoor) and Tuesday (Outdoor)

Please ensure your child has their named PE kit in school on these days each week.  Our PE on Mondays is Volleyball.  Your child will need their water bottle in school every Monday, in addition to a short-sleeved top and shorts/leggings and trainers or plimsolls.  Our PE every Tuesday is hockey, which will be taking place on the MUGA.  Please ensure that your child has a long-sleeved top and long pair of trousers for these lessons, as we will be going out every week whether it is raining or not!

Topics

Our topic this term is Islands. We are linking this with our work on Evolution and Inheritance in Science, where we are studying inherited characteristics, adaptation and Darwin's Theory of Evolution!  We have also been learning about different endangered and threatened creatures, creating collages and accurate sketches and writing our very own Nature Documentaries!

The Year 6 children will be taking their SATs in May 2019.  Please don't feel that it is necessary to do any extra work outside school to prepare your children; however, if you would like to find out more information then click the links below or pop into school to ask us any questions you might have.
