Hope you had an amazing half term!
We hope you all had a relaxing week off and got a good rest.
We've got a lot to do this half term including activities with Military Schools, trips and getting ready for Summer!
Monday – Reading records to be handed in, then checked for home reading (4x a week).
Friday - TTRockstars Session should be completed by this day.
Also PE is on Wednesday, so don't forget your kits!
On Friday, you will sit your weekly spelling test and will be given your new spellings as well. Children will also receive their weekly homework on this day.
Here’s to a positive, happy, and successful half term for everyone. I’m really looking forward to all that we’ll achieve together!

Here are some important websites you will need access to during the term:
ENGLISH
During this half term, the children will be reading 'The journey' by Francesca Sanna .
The Journey by Francesca Sanna is a poignant story that follows a young family's harrowing journey as they flee their war-torn country in search of safety. The book is told through the eyes of a child, providing a sensitive and age-appropriate introduction to the complex topic of forced migration. It emphasizes the emotional reality of migration, using fear, hope, and safety as central themes. The story is beautifully illustrated and aims to foster empathy for global humanitarian crises.
