Welcome to the Summer Term!

Were The Vikings Vicious?
During this term, we will Focus on the history of the Vikings in England, from their first raids on Lindisfarne in 793AD to the Norman Conquest 1n 1066. We will again welcome Cathy Murphy from Gripping History for our Wow Day to introduce the topic using a range of interactive resources. Our English will be based on the novel Odd And The Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman. In Maths, we will be revisiting parts of the curriculum which the children find challenging such as rounding and fractions, whilst our Science is based on materials: mixing, dissolving, separating and changing them.
We will also be looking at puberty and how our bodies change in our SRE lessons.
PE
Indigo and Amethyst’s P.E days are Monday (indoor) and Wednesdays (outdoor).
If your child does not have a PE kit or have inappropriate jewellery, they cannot partake in PE. Please contact Mr Brown or Ms Griffiths via the school office if you are having difficulties finding a PE kit.
If your child has earrings which cannot be taken out, they MUST come to school with tape.
Homework is set on Friday and due by Wednesday of the following week. To ensure children can remember these, children should practise spellings on SpellingFrame and Timestables on TTRockstars for short periods at least 3 times a week.
