History Topic –Children in World War 2. This will include a trip to Eden Camp, a Living History Museum, on 10 October. I will send further details in due course.
Art – People in action (focusing on sequencing and movement)
ICT –Web design and E books relating to our class topic
PE – Wednesday is Gym/Dance and Thursday is games. Please ensure your child has the correct PE kit in school on these days. (Invasion Games concentrating on football/hockey and our Dance focus is flight)
Homework is sent out on a regular basis though there is not a set day for any one subject as there is in other classes. This is to try and encourage children to be more organised prior to starting Secondary School!
I look forward to meeting you over the next few weeks and please do not hesitate to contact me if you need to discuss any issue concerning your child.
Best Wishes,
Mrs Connolly
