Welcome Back to Term 5!

We hope you have all had a wonderful October half-term break and are feeling refreshed, ready and raring to go for Term 2!

Term 2 has to be one of my favourite times of the school year as we begin the exciting countdown to Christmas! We have so many wonderful things to look forward to and cannot wait to get stuck into our festive preparations, especially as we begin rehearsing for our Christmas production, ‘A Miracle in Town’. We are really looking forward to sharing this special performance with you all!

This term, we will also be diving into our new Power of Reading text, ‘The Secret of Black Rock’, an exciting adventure story about a brave and curious little girl called Erin, who is fascinated by a mysterious rock hidden beneath the waves. We cannot wait to see where this magical story takes our learning!

Across the curriculum, we will be continuing our Exciting Explorers topic in Geography, discovering more about Living Things and Their Habitats in Science, and getting creative as we explore collage in Art and digital photography in Computing, to name just a few of the exciting things we have planned! For a closer look at what we will be learning this term, please visit our school website, where you will find our Term 2 Curriculum Overview.

As always, if you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued support.

We are looking forward to another fantastic term filled with learning, laughter and a little Christmas magic!
