We will learn about living things and their habitats.

PE days

Our PE dates this term are Tuesdays and Wednesdays   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.

Religious Education

• Gospel – What is the good news that Jesus brings?
• Salvation – Why does Easter matter to Christians?

Music

In music we will be learning to pitch and tempo. We will also be exploring orchestral music.

Homework

The most important homework is to read at home to some.  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.
