Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope that you had a lovely break with your children and made some lovely memories together.

The summer term is going to be a busy term, with the year 2s going on their residential (how exciting!), sports week and lots of fabulous, fun learning planned for the children to do.

The topics that they will be learning about are all outlined in our class curriculum map, which is on the school’s website under the parents section in the curriculum (class curriculum maps) section. For ease, I have inserted a hyperlink to this section for you: http://www.stannesfulshaw.net/page/year-c-2022-2023/133894.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the daily reading that you are doing with your child; it makes a huge difference to their progress in all areas of the curriculum, so thank you.

Like in the previous terms, in addition to the reading books that your child will receive each week, they will also receive homework. Homework will be set on a Thursday and the children will be given a week to complete and return this (i.e. it should be returned the Thursday after it was set).

Please can you ensure that your child brings their P.E. kit (green school P.E. t-shirt, black shorts, trainers and a spare pair of socks – optional items are a pair of black tracksuit bottoms and black sweatshirt) with them on a Monday morning.

If at any point, during the term you would like to discuss something with me then please either email me or speak to me on the playground after school when you are collecting your child.

Thank you

Mr Harley

Reading

As the famous quote from Dr Seuss states, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go," so to help your children to go to more places, please read with them for at least 5 to 10 minutes each day. To ensure that your child receives new books regularly, please make sure they bring their green book bags with them to school every day.

Homework

Homework will be set on a Thursday and is due to be returned the following Thursday.

I would also like for your children to be playing the maths games that are provided on NUMBOTS (login details are in your child's reading record) 4 or 5 times a week for up to 5 mintues each time they play.

Here is a parent guide video from NUMBOTS which explains how the website works in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24sqgVgwBOg.

Water bottles and snacks

Please ensure that your child brings their water bottle and snack or snack money to school with them each day.

PE Kit

Please ensure that you child brings their PE kit with them at the start of each week as we have PE on Monday mornings. Your child's PE kit should include the following items: green PE t-shirt (school name printed on the back), black shorts, trainers and a spare pair of socks. In the winter and spring terms, I would recommend that you also put a pair of black jogging bottoms and a black sweatshirt in your child's PE bag as we will continue to do PE outside, if possible.
