Kingfisher Class
Welcome to the first half of the summer term. We had a very busy Spring term from tie dying t-shirts, the wonderful Bee musical and the arrival of Fluffy the chick! We also have lots of exciting activities to look forward to this half term.
This half term in English we will be focusing on the theme of nature, exploring the texts The girl who planted trees and The night gardener. In Geography we will be exploring where our food comes from. The children will travel all over the world to look at different climates to see where certain foods grow best, explore the Northern and Southern hemispheres as well as learn how chocolate is made!
This term our PE days will be on Monday and Friday. Please note the change of day. On these days children should come into school wearing their PE kits. As a reminder, this should be a white t-shirt, black or navy shorts/joggers (weather dependent), and their school sweatshirt or fleece. Long hair should be tied back, and earrings should be covered or removed. Please do not send your child to school in non-school uniform items on PE days, such as hoodies or other sportswear from clubs.
On the first Wednesday of each month, with the odd exception, we would like to invite parents, carers or any family member dropping off a Kingfisher Class child to come into class before registration and sit alongside them for a few minutes. 'Welcome Wednesday' is an opportunity to share in the children's work, read with them, or simply discuss the current learning summarised on our classroom working walls. We hope this will become a precious and rewarding 10 minutes for the whole school community to get together regularly in class. We hope to see you there!
Please do look at the General Information page where you will find a summary of this half term's learning, an example timetable and lots of other useful information.
