Red Kite

Hello!

Welcome to the second half of the Spring term already! We hope you had a lovely, restful half-term break. This year is already going so quickly and is not likely to slow down soon with such a short half-term ahead. We have seen some sunshine though, so we are looking forward to an exciting few weeks ahead!

We will be learning basketball this half-term in PE, evolution in science and life in Britain since the 1940s in history, which I'm sure will jog more than a few memories! We are lucky enough to have a visitor coming from the RMAS to tell us about how the Academy has changed since the Second World War. We have started reading Leila and the Blue Fox in English, a fascinating tale about a young girl's adventures tracking an unusual fox across the Arctic tundra.

We also have World Book Day to look forward to on the 5th March, so we look forward to seeing your fantastic costumes and doing lots of exciting reading activities.

Please remember to keep on top of homework, and parents, please continue to read regularly with your children—it really does make a huge difference.

Impressive gymnasts!
