This is a normal day at school and each child will be expected to attend as we will take registers at the arena. They will need a packed lunch, plenty of water to drink as well as their PE kit. They should also bring a coat or school sweatshirt in case the weather changes. [/dropshadowbox]

Maths:
Over the next week, we shall be revising measurement. We shall specifically be looking at the conversion of metric and imperial units.

We shall be improving and imitating an explanation text. We shall also be looking at the editing process.

PE:

Your children will have taken a letter home on Thursday 22nd February, detailing which swimming group that they are in. Below is a reminder of the key dates and swimming kit that they will need.

Group A Tuesday 27th February-Tuesday 27th March
Group B Tuesday 17th April-Tuesday 22nd May (No swimming on the 15th May)
Group C Tuesday 5th June – Tuesday 3rd July

Please can you make sure that they bring a swimming costume (preferably NOT a bikini for girls and NOT long shorts for boys), towel and, if they have long hair, a swimming hat all in a bag that can be easily identifiable. Children will be taught how to swim by 2 qualified swimming instructors including a teacher from Whitgift school and no prior knowledge of how to swim is needed. Children will be assessed the first week and then put into suitable groups with no child entering the deep end unless they can swim a length unaided. A trained lifeguard will also be present.
Children who are not going swimming during this time will still have a PE lesson. All children will continue to have their Thursday PE lesson.

Music:
We shall be continuing our Soundstart lessons with Mr Regan. Keep an eye out for our end of year performance.
