We hope that the following information will be useful to you:
Outline of some
areas of topic work to be covered:
This Spring Term we will be investigating Light and shadows, the
human body, our partner school, Sikusi Primary in Mbale, an introduction to
e-mail, exploring simulations, printing, painting with sound, design a party
hat, dance and gym, Judaism, home and synagogue and citizenship and
lifestyles.
Information and
artefacts, which would be useful:
We would be grateful if you have any interesting
artefacts, photographs or books related to any of the above that we might
borrow, or if you have any personal experiences or expertise in these areas,
you might like to share with the class. Any internet research will be more
meaningful to your child if it is restricted to pictures or materials
specifically prepared for children.

Suggested ways in
which you can support Literacy and Numeracy:
It would be really helpful if you could practise mental
addition/subtraction, 2,3,4,5, 6 and 7 times tables. Please help your child
by testing and reciting the tables in a fun way. In addition to this please
help them to read and tell the time through everyday activities.
Each child needs to bring to school their reading book
every day as they will use it during our group reading sessions.
Your child might like to make a simple comment, relating
to likes/dislikes in their reading record. Asking questions such as “Why did
he/she do that?” or “What do you think happens next?” would help children in
understanding text and aid comprehension work.

Other information:
During this term we will be practising, creating and
performing for the Eisteddfod.
P.E. is on a Thursday – all children need to bring their
P.E. kit to change into for every lesson. Please make sure that the children
bring the correct P.E. kit for lessons in the hall.
Homework will generally cover activities from Literacy and
Numeracy lessons,
however, there may be pieces of homework relating to topic
work.
