Dear Families,
I hope you all had a lovely and restful half term.
I am very excited to welcome the children back for our final term of the academic year—Aim High, Fly High!
This term, P.E. will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays. Children should come to school dressed in their P.E. kits on these days. Please ensure kits are appropriate, earrings are removed for health and safety, and long hair is tied back.
Please note that Robins will not have Forest School this term.
In our learning this term, we will be exploring the human body in Science. The children will learn about the different parts of the body, the five senses, and how the body moves. In Geography, we will be learning about the seas and oceans surrounding the UK, as well as exploring coastal areas.
We are also very excited to invite you to Robins’ first class assembly, which will take place on Thursday 21st May at 9:05am. We hope you can join us!
Please ensure your child brings a named water bottle each day, and that all uniform items are clearly labelled to help prevent them from getting lost.
Attached is an optional home learning task that children may choose to complete alongside their regular home learning. We strongly encourage regular reading at home.
For Reception parents, please continue practising the children’s phonics sounds regularly alongside their reading books. For Year 1 parents, please practise the alien (nonsense) words that were sent home before the Easter holiday, and continue to read daily to support fluency and confidence.
Rhino Reading books will continue to be changed on Fridays, once children are able to read them fluently without sounding out.
As we move into the final term, we will begin preparing the children for transition into their next class. To support their growing independence, we kindly ask that children come into the classroom by themselves and carry their own belongings. Please also ensure that toys are not brought into school, as they can easily get lost or damaged. Children are welcome to bring in items for show and tell, provided they are linked to their learning, such as writing they have completed.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office or speak to me at drop-off or pick-up times.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to a fantastic term of learning and growth together.
Mrs Kia Andreadou
