Welcome back Doves!
Doves
Our teachers are Miss Richards (AM) and Miss Atkinson (PM).
Miss Simons will also be helping out in the afternoons.
Mr Thomas will teach P.E on Wednesday.
Humanities
This term our topic will be 'Castles'. We have an overarching question that drives our learning and this is 'Who would live in a castle like this?'
Science
We will learn to explore everyday materials and their uses.
PE days
Our PE dates this term are Monday and Wednesday. Please come to school in PE kit on both of those days. Details of our PE kit can be found on the website.
EARRINGS MUST BE REMOVED ON PE DAYS PLEASE.
Design and technology
We will be exploring structures in order to make a chair that will hold a teddy bear!
RE
Our RE enquiry question is 'What makes some people inspiring to others?' Throughout this topic we will be learning about Moses and Saint Peter.
Computing
We will be learning all about non-stop media motion. We will have the opportunity to create our own flipbook animations! In order to be able to do this we will need to take clear and in focus photographs, be able to upload them onto the computer and to finally decompose a story into smaller parts.
Music
Our music topic this half term will be 'Music on this island.' We will be focusing on our singing skills.
Homework
The most important homework is to read at home. We recommend this is done at least 3 times a week and note this down in our home school diaries.
Spellings and phonics will be sent home weekly and we would encourage you to support your child in learning these.
Dates
Look out for dates of parents' evenings and other exciting activities on the website or in our newsletter Burntstump Bugle.
As always, we love to hear from parents or carers, so if you'd like to get in touch via email to the office@burntstump.snmat.org.uk by phone or in person, please do not hesitate. We're always happy to help and love to hear successes that the children have had outside of school.
Please find our Knowledge Organisers below. These key documents have all the knowledge your child needs to access current and future learning.
If you have any questions about your child's learning, please come and find us.
