June 2025

Wow! How is it June already? As we write, the sun is still shining and we're looking forward to a summer term of learning challenges and fun! 

Warm Weather: Please make sure all children bring a water bottle to school with them in the morning (which can be refilled from a sink just outside the classroom door). They will also need a hat for sunny days and sun cream should be applied in the mornings. If the children do need to bring sun cream to school they must be able to apply it themselves.

PE Days: PE Days this term will be Mondays and Thursdays. The children will need to come to school dressed in the correct school PE kit on those days. This includes a logo-free navy or black hoodie/top, plain white or school T-shirt, logo-free navy or black shorts or joggers. The children will be having PE with Mr Pearce again this term.  

Guitars: Our guitar lessons continue this term on Thursdays.  Please ensure your child has their guitar with them on that day.

TTRS: The national multiplication check for all year four children will be held over the next two weeks. We ensure that this is as stress free for the children as possible and have already started doing 'mock tests' before the holidays. The children are doing really well and are on track but any last minute practise on the 'studio' section of TTRS is very much appreciated!

Homework: A fortnightly maths sheet is sent home based upon the children's learning in the classroom for that week. Spelling tests will still be on a Monday and start again next week (week 2 of term). The children will also have a creative grid, the same as they did last term. Please see below for this term's spelling sheets and creative grid. 

Summer Reading Challenge: Our summer reading challenge is underway and we're thrilled by how the children have responded to it. We're reminding them that it's not how quickly you read the books, but it's about challenging yourself and reading a variety of authors. We are both taking part too and are enjoying discussing books with the children. When your child finishes a book, please could you send confirmation that they've done so? (A note in the reading record/ on paper/ email will suffice) We had some children finishing some very large books in an incredibly short space of time last term :o)

Reading book: This term we will continue to read 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. Thank you to all of you who have supported our reading by purchasing a copy for your child to read in class.

Contacting us: Please catch one of us sooner rather than later if anything is worrying you. The end of the day is the best time, or email us through the office.

We are looking forward to getting started on our final term of learning together!
