Children will come to school dressed in their uniform and will bring their PE kit in a labelled bag.

Some PE sessions will take place outside unless there are extreme weather conditions i.e. ice, snow or heavy rain.

Homework:

Home learning menus are given out at the start of every half term highlighting activities and projects the children can complete based on their current topic.

Each half term, children will be encouraged to complete homework from a 'homework menu' from their class teacher. This will be a range of activities relating to their current topic that parents can complete with their children.

Please do share photographs of your children carrying out the tasks by sharing them with the year group's Twitter page.

From Field To Fork

This half term we will be talking about where food comes from and how it grows. We will talk
about foods that grow above or below the ground and how it is harvested and delivered to
supermarkets. As scientists we will be investigating plants and what they need to survive, to
do this we will conduct an experiment to see what conditions plants best grow in.

Books to enjoy at home!
