Dear Magpies,

Term 6

Dear Parents/Carers

Literacy/Topic

We are excited to start our final term in Magpies and welcome in some summer fun with the sun shining! All of Magpies have grown so much this year and we will be starting to prepare them for their transition into Year 3. As usual, our door is always open and we are happy to help if you have any questions.

This term our topic is, ‘Do aliens live on the moon?’. In our literacy lessons we’ll be writing astronaut job applications, moon poetry and questions for an alien! In our topic lessons we will be researching Neil Armstrong and the life of an astronaut and creating our own alien masks!

Maths

In Maths this term we will look at time and complete our final two topics – statistics and position and direction.

Science

In Science, our focus on ‘plants’ will continue. We are fortunate enough to have our own little garden and will be using the space to plant seeds and plants, watch them grow and discuss the life cycle for our science topic.

Please do read with your child at home as often as possible, it makes such a difference and really boosts their love of books! I would also encourage you to ask your children questions about the book they have read to boost their understanding of the text. It is better that a child takes slightly longer to read a text and fully grasps its contents, than speeding through a text without having understood it.

P.E. will be taught on Tuesday and Wednesday. School uniform should be worn into school and children will get changed before their P.E lesson. Please bring P.E kit (plimsolls/trainers, shorts/tracksuits, T-shirt and jumper) to stay at school.

Spellings will be sent out on a Friday and a spelling test will be completed the following Friday.

Please do let me know if you have any queries

Miss Swain
