Welcome to the SUmmer Term
We hope you had a fantastic Easter break and are fully charged for another term of learning.
This term we will look at Castles, Kings and Queens in the first half term, followed by a Seaside theme for the second half of the term. If you have any exciting toys or books that may enhance our knowledge of this - please bring them in (with parents permission of course)
We are going to be looking more closely at castles and comparing different monarchs in the past.
Additionally, in Science, we will be exploring plants and investigating how they grow and what they need. Then we will explore Seasonal Changes.
We will be crusading on with our Phonics as we approach the Phonics Screening Check. Continuing to develop a reading fluency that will help unlock the greatest stories ever written - is that not the best lifelong pleasure?
If you have any questions or wish to make an appointment to meet us, please email: admin@kelsaleprimary.org.uk
Home Reading books:
If you have given permission via Mrs Mansell, our new Little Wandle books will now be sent home for home reading.
We will send them home on a Monday. They will be changed the following Monday. They MUST be in school EVERY DAY for reading groups.
(Due to their expense, any books not returned or damaged will incur a £3.50 fine)
Purple Mash Logins
All Venus children will receive a Purple Mash login if they havent already got one. We will look at this in class but feel free to have a go at logging in at home and exploring the website!
