Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome back to school everyone!  I hope you had a lovely time over the holidays and did lots of fun things.  This half term is going to be very exciting with a trip to Windsor Castle coming up next Friday!  It is a beautiful place and I am sure you will love it.  What is really exciting is that you will actually see all the things you are learning about - arrow slits, high walls, moat and battlements.  Also you will be taking part in a workshop about knights, learning about their lives and what they had to do to become knights.  Listen out for the fact about how the word used to be pronounced.  In SPaG at the moment you are learning about words with a silent 'k' but there was a time when it was actually pronounced!  This half term you will also be learning about Money in Maths, Materials in Science and designing and creating your own castle in DT.  I've just used another word from our spellings - did you spot it?  Designing with a silent 'g'.

Reminders

PE will be on a Thursday afternoon, so come to school ready for lots of exercise and fun.  Remember the PE kit is a plain white T shirt or the school PE top and plain black shorts or tracksuit bottoms and plain black trainers.  

You will also visit the library on Thursday afternoons where you can choose a lovely new book to take home and share with your grown ups. 

Please remember to bring your reading book and diary to school every day, so that we can hear your lovely reading.  

Drinking lots of water throughout the day is really good for you and helps your brain when you are learning, so don't forget to bring in a named water bottle every day.  Everyone in school looks really smart in their College Town Primary School uniforms, but they are all the same, so make sure yours has your name on it.    

Thank you
