Parent Letter

Dear Parents/ Carers,

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Easter holiday and that your children have rested up well for the busy Summer term ahead! Warblers have a jam-packed few months coming up and I’m eager to begin.

In Warblers class this term, we will still be practising our spellings, handwriting and times tables for our start of the day activity. As I’m sure you are aware, these are important requirements for every child’s learning- please ensure that your child arrives in school on time so as not to miss anything.

Some of the topics we’ll be looking at this term include learning about how children’s lives have changed in History and 3D sculpture in Art. We will be investigating sound in Science and learning how to write persuasive letters in English. The Summer term brings swimming lessons for the Year fours of Warblers class only. Year threes will not swim this year. This will happen on some Fridays throughout the Summer term (timetable to be emailed from the office soon). The children will still have Cambridge United PE on Tuesdays so please ensure that PE kit is worn.

Children are welcome to bring a fruit or vegetable snack to consume during morning break time and are encouraged to have a named water bottle for the whole day.

Optional homework can be found in the Home Learning grid included with this letter. Mandatory homework consists of Spelling Shed and Times Table Rockstars a minimum of twice a week. Please encourage your children to access these websites as much as possible. Year Fours have the Government mandated times tables test (MTC) in June, so it is especially important for them to get as much practice as possible. More information on this to come.

It is a government-mandated requirement that all primary school children of appropriate age have access to Relationships and Sex Education. This will be happening during this term. For more information see the previous letter on this topic from the office. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact myself of the school PSHE lead Miss Barron.

I’m looking forward to an exciting last term with the class. Let’s make it just as brilliant as the others.

Best wishes,

Mrs R. Yeo

Warblers Class teacher
