Dear Parents,
Welcome back and I hope that you have all had a pleasant Easter break and, on behalf of Mrs.
King and myself, thank you for the Easter gifts (I am hoping to have cleared the fridge of
chocolate by Christmas). 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 trips booked:
As a part of our historical / geographical study of London, we will be visiting the capital on
Thursday 10th May to view the landmarks from up high on the London Eye before learning
more about what we have seen on a guided boat trip on the Thames.
In science, Mr. Moreton will be covering habitats and to fit in with this topic he has arranged
for a trip to Hatfield Forest where the National Trust will be running hands on sessions for the
children.
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:
