Swallow Class

Welcome back! 

As we head into the second half of the spring term, I’m really looking forward to the weeks ahead in Swallow Class. We’ve got a lovely half term planned, with plenty of opportunities to learn, explore and enjoy ourselves together.

This half term we’ll be exploring forces and magnets in science, thinking about global trade in geography, and developing our DT skills through an exciting pneumatics project. In English, we’ll be writing narratives using the whole school text, What We'll Build, alongside reading Varjak Paw — an adventure story about a cat who must find the courage to leave home, face danger in the city, and discover his true strengths along the way. In maths, we’ll be working with fractions. 

For full details of what we’ll be studying this half term, please see the Curriculum Overview at the bottom of the page.

PE days this half term will be on Mondays and Wednesdays. On these days, children should come to school in their PE kits. This should be a white T-shirt, black or navy shorts or joggers (depending on the weather), and their school sweatshirt or fleece. Our Monday lesson will be indoor PE, so children may find it helpful to wear their shorts underneath their jogging bottoms. This means they can stay warm at break and lunchtime, but be comfortable for PE inside! Long hair should be tied back and earrings removed. Please keep non-school uniform sportswear at home for clubs and weekends.

Please make sure your child brings a named water bottle to school each day — learning is thirsty work! They will also need a healthy snack from home. And, to help lost items find their way home, please label everything: uniform, snack pots and water bottles included.
