The Staff:

Mrs Sarchet and Mr Amin welcome you to Spring 3. We are always more than happy to speak to you about your child, just catch us at the door at drop off or home time, or call and make an appointment.

The Children:

We call ourselves The Curious and Creative Tribe. We love our learning to be active and engaging. We've explored muscles by making our own hand, wrist and arm! We have learned about rocks and fossils by creating our own using chocolate - we may have eaten them too! We are looking forward to delving into the bronze age, making our own pop-up cards and learning all about magnets.

Together we follow the school vision - eyes wide open, arms outstretched, curious minds aiming high- and create a classroom where every child can thrive and RAISE.

Upcoming dates:

8th January : Prehistoric history day, a look into the lives of the Stone Age and Bronze Age.

What we are reading:

This half term we are reading Grandpa Bert and the Ghost Snatchers by Malorie Blackman. Your child also has weekly access to our wonderful school library where they can choose a book to read for pleasure.

Forest School & PE

Children will have PE on Wednesdays and Fridays. As our uniform policy states, children are expected to wear their PE uniform and trainers every day for school. This ensures children are able to take part in our Mindful Mile everyday in the appropriate attire.

In history, we are going to be learning about bronze age to iron age which will build on our previous learning about the stone age.

In English, we are going to be looking at and writing our own suspense texts, as well as developing our writing skills for information texts.
