Your child will have a 'Reading Reward Card' in their reading record. Please ensure that your child reads each day - continuing to read with them is wonderful! If your child reads on at least five days in one week they will receive one stamp. When they have achieved 4 stamps your child will be given a reward in school.
If you are unsure about anything, please speak to a member of the team.

Autumn
States of Matter
In Science we are learning about different states of matter. We have observed and predicted what will happen when some liquids and gases are mixed; we have categorised different objects according to their states.
Creation and Covenant
In Religion, our first topic is 'Creation and Covenant'. We are learning more in depth about the Creation Story from the book of Genesis and studying Pope Francis' letter 'Laudato 'Si' to understand how we can work together to care for our common home.
Coding
In Computing, we have explored how programmers like us use variables and 'if' statements. To practise coding we use 'Scratch', which is designed for young coders and is free to use at home!
Ourselves
In French, our topic is 'Ourselves'. We are learning to name various family members. We have been using the Simpsons family to help us learn the vocabulary. Click here to play the online French Games we have been using in school.
Fruity Thinking
Our first SUMO principle of the year is 'Develop Fruity Thinking'. We have been exploring how having a more positive mindset can help us to succeed in life and how we can change the language we use to be more positive about ourselves and others.
Flag Football
We have had lots of wonderful PE experiences already this year. We are absolutely loving our weekly sessions with Dave, the NFL Flag Football coach. We have been learning how to throw and catch the NFL ball and practising some basic drills.
