Curriculum consultation 21.4.21

Dear Parents and Carers,

Today you will have received an email which outlines our consultation period connected to our relationships and sex education curriculum.

This email contains important information about what your child will be learning about in their class and a link to an online feedback form which outlines the content in more detail. Also included, is an information leaflet regarding the scheme that we use to support this curriculum area.

Please can you take a moment to review the materials that you have been sent, recording any feedback on the form. Please note, if you have children in different year groups, the links to the forms are different as the content changes.

Kind regards

Michelle Bishton

Deputy Headteacher

Dear Parents/Carers,

Next Thursday afternoon, Year 5 will be going on a belated Spring Nature Walk in the local area in order to observe the fantastic changes of the season. We will be linking this learning to the children’s understanding of the life cycles of plants as well as how habitats can be impacted by humans.

Children should come to school in PE kit with long trousers or tracksuit bottoms. Please ensure that your child wears suitable footwear and coat according to the weather. We are hoping that the rain will stay away, however we will be going out in any weather.

Kind regards,

The Year 5 Team

As a school, the decision has been made that the normal system with regards to handing in of reading diaries daily will commence again. As well as handing in diaries daily, we will print off the spelling sheets and stick them into diaries every Friday. Times table homework will still remain on Times Table Rockstars. In addition to this, we will still be continuing to use the Year 4 email as a way for parents to communicate messages with the Y4 staff if you would prefer.

All of the changes stated above will start as of Monday 26^th April 2021. In the meantime, you can either continue with the virtual diary or move completely back to recording in the physical diary this week.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding,

Year 4.

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are pleased to announce that reading diaries can recommence as normal meaning that they can come and go into school on a daily basis. This is a really useful tool for teachers to ensure that children are continuing to develop their reading skills at home. We would like to remind you that children are expected to read 5 times per week and are rewarded highly for writing detailed comments.

Kind Regards,

The Year 5 Team
