Welcome back to the Summer 2 term.

I can’t believe we are heading into the final seven weeks of primary school. This half term will be full of emotions and excitement, with summer nearing, transition days, residential, and Sports Day to look forward to. However, we may also begin to see some worries and apprehension creeping in as the children prepare for the big change of leaving primary school and moving on to secondary school.

We have lots of exciting events planned to celebrate the children’s time at primary school. Alongside this, we will continue with a busy curriculum, including real-life maths challenges and exploring a range of texts in both English and Guided Reading.

In Geography, we will be looking at how populations change over time. In Science, we will be linking together everything we have learned this year as we explore the importance of sunglasses and how they are made. In DT, we will be getting creative with textiles and designing and making our own bags. In PSHE, we will be completing transition lessons as well as sessions linked to first aid.

It really will be a very busy half term!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support over the years. It has been an absolute pleasure to teach most of the class for two years — a class I will never forget. I wish all the children the very best of luck as they take this exciting next step in their school journey.

Reminders:

• PE day is Wednesday – please ensure your child comes to school wearing the correct PE kit. Earrings must be removed before school, or children must be able to remove them independently.

• Homework should be completed and handed in on Fridays (as part of preparing the children for secondary school expectations).

• Children should wear the correct school uniform, including black school shoes. Makeup and jewellery are not permitted, apart from a pair of small stud earrings.

Kind regards,
Mrs Farrant, Mrs Channing, Ms Tait and Mrs Reed
