PE/Forest School Kits
For this final term, we will continue to need PE kits worn to school on Mondays and Thursdays for our PE lessons, which we will try to be outdoors for as much as possible, weather permitting. As a reminder, please make sure that PE kits are appropriate according to the school's PE uniform policy.
Our forest school days will remain every other Tuesday, (this term: week 2, week 4 and week 6) so please can children come in wearing comfortable, suitable clothing with appropriate footwear that can get muddy.
Times tables
The end of year 4 national times table screener takes place at the beginning of this term so please can children continue practicing their times tables regularly and they should have their TTRS logins to support the practice they are doing in school. Times tables are extremely important in their numeracy and are linked to lots of topics in the curriculum e.g. division, fractions, multiplication. It is vital that children have a strong times tables knowledge in order to achieve success across all topics in maths, particularly as they move into upper key stage 2.
Many thanks for your support,
Mr Goodfellow, Mrs Thomas, Miss Johnson and Mrs English
