Friday 13th June

Dear Parents,

 

 

 

Well it’s the final term and hasn’t this year gone quick. The children are coming to the end of their SATS tasks and all children have coped with these very well. The results will be given to you with their school reports at the end of term. We will be finishing off our IPC topic on Time Detectives linking this to important Historical people from the past

. We will also start our new topic called The Things People Do. This will look at different jobs people do and how people spend their leisure time. During this unit we will be focusing on society, history, music, technology and art. As part of our entry point into this unit children will be asked to come into school dressed in a character ready for work e.g. doctor, nurse. More details to follow.

• How we spend our time
