Humanities

For the Autumn Term, we are learning about the events of the great fire of London and how this changed the human and physical features.  In our Humanities lessons, we will be learning all about the key events of the fire and how what sources of evidence we can find to learn about this. We will learn about the importance of written accounts to help us to learn about the past.

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

• Beliefs and questions – Who celebrates what and why?
• Incarnation – Why does Christmas matter to Christians?

Music

In music we will be learning to pitch and rhythm. We will link this to using our bodies as a musical instrument. 

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.
