Welcome to Kangaroo Class. I hope you had a lovely and restful Easter holiday and are ready for another term of learning!
In each term, your child will be following exciting and engaging topics which are as follows:
Autumn term – Ancient Romans
Spring term – History of Transport
Summer term – Modern Europe
Please see the curriculum web for information on the planned content of each subject for this term.
Summer weather
Though we haven’t seen too much evidence of it yet, it is starting to get warmer! Please make sure your child brings a named water bottle into school every day and, when it does get warmer, a named sun hat and sun cream.
Homework
Please help your child to make sure homework is completed and handed in on Google Classroom! This homework will include reading (through Reading Planet), spelling, and maths. There will also be a termly topic homework which spans a few weeks:
Research a country in Europe of your choice!
More information about this will be shortly sent out on Google Classroom.
Please do let me know if there are any issues with accessing the homework online.
Reading
Many children can fluently read texts, but do not always understand what they have read. Even if they are fluent, it is still important that you read with them. It would also be helpful for you to discuss with them what has been read. You may wish to ask them to:
§ Summarise what they have already read.
§ Predict what will happen next.
§ Define or link key vocabulary.
§ Relate the story to their own experience.
§ Infer how they think the characters are thinking or feeling.
Please do write in your child’s reading record so that I can see their progress and know about any difficulties or successes!
Uniform and kit
Please could you ensure that your child’s uniform, particularly jumpers, is all appropriately named, even if you simply write their initials on the label this will allow us to reunite them with their rightful owners!
As usual, we do PE on Monday and Tuesday afternoons which may take place in- or outdoors. Please continue to send your child in with a full PE kit.
If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding your child, please do let me know. You can direct any emails to the office who will forward them on to me.
Kind regards,
Miss Taylor
