Parent Letter

Dear Parents/Carers, 

 

Welcome back! I hope you have enjoyed a lovely Easter break and that your child/ren is/are raring to go in this final and important term. 

As always, we have an exciting Summer term ahead of us, learning about the Kingdom of Benin in History and a fieldwork study in Geography. More information about our upcoming learning can be found on the ‘Curriculum Grid’.

This term we are looking forward to our residential trip to Caythorpe on June 15th to June 17th. We will be holding an information meeting about this after school on Wednesday 20th May.

As a school this term, we will also be participating in Sports Day, putting on our Year 6 production and having a moving up session at secondary school before saying goodbye in our leaver's assembly. Keep an eye out for further details!

We are now eagerly counting down to SATs week in May and we will be working hard to prepare for this.

This half term, the children will also be participating in RSE (Relationship and Sex Education) lessons. Year 6 will be recapping identifying female and male sexual parts, covering how babies are conceived and born, recognising changes in puberty, considering a range of family arrangements and exploring reasons why people enter into marriage.

 

This half-term’s Cambridge United PE lessons will continue to be on a Tuesday and on a Wednesday. Jays will also have extra sessions on 15.04.26, 29.04.26 and 13.05.26.

Please ensure that your child comes to school in their PE kit (plain white/black/navy t-shirt, joggers or shorts, trainers and normal school jumper) on both of these days. 

Home learning will continue to be set weekly and will continue to be SATs- focused for the first few weeks of the term.

If you have any queries, please contact the office who will pass on your message I will endeavour to respond as quickly as possible. I look forward to continuing to work with you to help your child/ren to have a great final term at Duxford Primary.  

 

Thank you, as always, for your continued support,

Mrs Lawrence
