Have a great half term break when it is here. We look forward to welcoming the children back on Wednesday 3rd June 2026.

 

Well done to all children for such a great SATs week. The children were clearly focused and did their very best and with such positive attitudes. Well done one and all.

• words with <phobia> 

ergophobia, pyrophobia, phobophobia, acrophobia, hydrophobia,

graphophobia, claustrophobia, arachnophobia, thalassophobia, scolionophobia

 

In our daily lessons, we break each word into syllables as shown below:

Swimming: 

Oak will swim this half-term; the first session is: Thursday 16^th April 2026.  

 

PE:

Oak class has indoor PE on Mondays and outdoor PE on a Thursday afternoon (if not swimming in the morning).

 

Elder class has indoor PE on Tuesdays and outdoor PE on a Thursday afternoon (if not swimming in the morning).

 

Please remember to come to school wearing their PE kit with long hair tied back and earrings removed/taped. 

Homework:

This will be set every two weeks.  Each child has a homework book in which to complete/stick their work.  Books need to be submitted on Thursdays and new homework will be issued on the Friday.  Year 6 is a good time to start practising completing homework expectations in readiness for Secondary school!

 

Please bring a water bottle to school!

 

Best Wishes
