PE Kit
This half term we will be focusing on gymnastics . However, at times we may not be able to access. Therefore, appropriate indoor and outdoor PE kit is required including plain, dark jogging bottoms, a plain sweatshirt and trainers as well as a plain white t-shirt and plain, dark shorts. A change of socks would be helpful too in case the children get wet feet during field lessons. For outdoor PE, trainers are preferable to plimsoles as these provide much better grip.
Earrings must be removed or covered up for all PE lessons. Children with pierced ears must be able to remove their own earrings before the lesson or cover them up with tape brought from home. Alternatively, earrings could be removed before school on your child's PE days.
Our books this half-term are ...
Our class novel will continue to be 'The Nowhere Emporium' by Ross MacKenzie.
Our English text will be 'Beowulf' by Michael Murpurgo which we will use to inspire a range of writing and reading tasks.
