Welcome to the Summer Term!
Indigo Class are taught by Ms Griffiths and Amethyst Class are taught by Mr Brown. Both classes are assisted by Ms Lilley and Mr Nash. Both classes will also be covered at some point in the week by Ms Simpson and Mr Ecclestone (for music) and Amethyst will also be taught by Ms Moss.
Year 5 should arrive at the main gates at 8.40 and be collected at 3.15. Year 5 children can walk home alone if they have written permission from their parents or carers.
Did the railways help or hinder the people of Cambridge?
During this term, we will study local history, focusing on the development of the Cambridge railway, develop our understanding of mechanisms in DT and Science to create a working fairground ride, and continue to improve our writing by focusing on clarity (including handwriting), accuracy, coherence and cohesion. In Maths, we will work on converting units and will explore angles in geometry.
We are planning on taking the children on a local History walk on Wednesday 7th May, weather permitting. This will involve walking to the station and onto Mill Road – more details to follow.
PE
Indigo and Amethyst’s P.E days are Monday (indoor) and Wednesdays (outdoor).
If your child does not have a PE kit or have inappropriate jewellery, they cannot partake in PE. Please contact Mr Brown or Ms Griffiths via the school office if you are having difficulties finding a PE kit.
If your child has earrings which cannot be taken out, they MUST come to school with tape.
Homework is set on Friday and due by Wednesday of the following week. To ensure children can remember these, children should practise spellings on SpellingFrame and Timestables on TTRockstars for short periods at least 3 times a week.
