A Welcome from Miss Webb:

Miss Hall and I are excited to be working with your children this year. 

To keep you informed about classroom activities and updates, we encourage you to regularly visit our Class Page, where we will be posting photos and information about what we are getting up to in Sycamore.

This term, we will be utilising our English scheme “Pathways to write”. We will read "Queen of the Falls" by Chris Van Allsburg and create diary entries about significant events in Annie Edson Taylor’s life.

In Maths, we continue to use the White Rose scheme and will be covering Place Value, Addition and Subtraction, Statistics, Multiplication and Division, and Fractions.

In Music, we will begin by looking at The Blues, followed by Looping and Remixing. In Geography, we will be looking at experiences of life in the alps.

PE Classes: PE will take place every Tuesday and Friday. Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on these days. On those days, children are expected to wear the following:

A plain white T-shirt or a T-shirt in the colour of their House.

Plain navy blue/black shorts or jogging bottoms, depending on the weather.

A plain navy blue/black sweatshirt.

Trainers, which are essential for safety reasons. Children without appropriate footwear will not be able to participate in PE.

If your child has pierced ears, only small studs are allowed. These must be removed before PE or covered at home. Unfortunately, staff cannot assist with removing or covering earrings.

If you need support with providing PE kit, please contact me or the school office.

Reading: Children will sent home with reading records this week, and a book suited to their reading stage. We encourage daily reading at home and suggest listening to your child read, as this positively impacts their writing skills. 

Homework: Homework will be assigned online through Doodle every Friday, and due the following Friday. Your child’s login details will be sent home on a Homework Help sheet. If you encounter any issues or need a new login, please let us know. Homework will include tasks in English, Maths, and Spellings. Children will need to attend lunch time doodle club if they are failing to complete their homework and we are not made aware of a reason why, so please do let me know if they are unable to access this from home. 

Please feel free to reach out me with any questions or concerns you may have. Your insights and perspectives as parents are incredibly valuable in helping us better understand and support your children. Thank you for your partnership.
