  • In your child’s homework diary, they will have a green stamp at the end of each day to show they are following our school’s ‘Good to be Green’ behaviour policy. If they do not get a green stamp it is because they have not ended the day on a green card or have received a red card during the day. You will be notified by text if a red card consequence has occurred.

It has been lovely to welcome everyone back to school. We have had a great week of learning. This week our learning will be as follows;

  • In mathematics we will continue our work on multiplying by seven. We will explore the relationship between adjacent multiples of seven, spot patterns in the seven times table and use the seven times table to solve problems.
  • In English we will continue our  work around The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry. We will explore language and look at non-fiction writing based on the rainforest theme.
  • In science we will begin a new unit of work on electricity. We will recap on our previous knowledge of electricity.
  • In relationship and health education (RHE) our unit for this half term is Dreams and Goals. This week we will focus on our dreams and goals for the future.
  • Our blocked foundation subject this week is computing. We will design an interactive toy and use Scratch to create an animated prototype.

Millennium Class will go swimming on Tuesday and do PE on Wednesday. Southwark Class will do PE on Wednesday and Thursday.
