Dear Parents,
Welcome back and I hope that you have all had a pleasant Easter break. The summer term
seems to have come around extremely quickly and I am sure your children are looking
forward to a fun and busy end to the year.
We still have many topics to cover and I am hoping that we will be blessed with good weather
as we have two outdoor trips planned:
As a part of our historical / geographical study of London, we will be visiting the capital on
Thursday 14th May.
In science, Mr. Moreton will be covering habitats and to fit in with this topic he has arranged
for a trip to Hatfield Forest on Thursday 4th June where the National Trust will be running
hands on sessions for the children.
Thanks to Mrs English, we have also been fortunate to secure tickets for the London
Symphony Orchestra’s annual concert for primary school children and will be heading to the
Barbican along with Year 3 on Monday 29th June.
With regards to homework, the timetable will remain as it was, though as I’m sure you will
appreciate, this may change on certain days depending on what we are doing in school. As
such homework will be as follows:

I have organised the Year 5 & 6 residential week in Wales this year and so will be
accompanying them from Monday 18th May to Friday 22nd May. Mrs Perry will take over the
reigns as Year 4 class teacher for that week.
As with last term, it is much appreciated if your child could be in the class at 8.40 p.m. The
class register is taken very promptly at 8:50. If you should arrive after that time please go to
the office to register them.
Thank you for your ongoing help and support and as always please do come and talk to
myself or Mrs King if there is anything you need help with. May the fine weather continue!
