This term, our topic is 'Sailing The Severn

 

This term, the children's topic is called ’Sailing The Severn’. Within this topic, they will learn all about the River Severn, including it’s course and the towns / counties it runs through. They will also need to think carefully about how the towns may have changed over the years to adapt to the River. 

 

To find out more about what we will be covering in each subject this term, please read our 'Summer Term Curriculum letter' which can be found at the bottom of this page.

 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding anything, please get in touch via seesaw where we will be more than happy to help and get back to you as soon as possible. Alternatively, please contact the office via telephone call or email for the attention of Miss Hill.

 

Timetable for Summer Term 2026:

Here is our proposed timetable for Summer Term. Please note that subjects may change days on occasion.

 

 

TTRockstars: To help encourage maths skills, we have set the children up on an online programme called ‘TTRockstars’. This is a fantastic resource which allows children to practise and improve their maths skills in a fun, interactive way. It provides access to times tables maths games! If you forget your child's log in details, please ask.

 

Nessy - If your child has a Nessy account, please allow them to access this at least 3 times a week. This is a brilliant programme which can help both their reading and spelling skills. Depending on their initial assessment, Nessy will set appropriate targets at a level suited for your child. To access this, please log on via https://learn.nessy.com/account/login#/accountLogin.  If you forget the 'secret word' for your child's account, please ask.

 

PE: Tuesday.  All children need to make sure they come to school dressed ready in their P.E kit on this day. Please ensure that they are wearing the correct kit - plain t-shirts, shorts or joggers. Any children with earrings must be able to remove these for their P.E session, or they may not be able to take part due to health and safety reasons. On days where children do not have P.E, we hope to be able to take part in 'The Daily Mile' and they will need appropriate foot wear for this.

 

Swimming: Wednesday. All children need to make sure they come to school dressed ready in their P.E kit on this day. Please ensure that they have the correct swimming kit- plain, navy blue swimming costume or trunks (Lycra-style. Not board shorts) and towel. 

 

Spelling Test: Friday - Children will be given 12 spellings to learn every week. 8 of these will include a set rule and the last 4 will be statutory spellings which they need to be familiar with by the end of the year. They will follow the LOOK, COVER, WRITE, CHECK method to help them learn their spellings.

 

Home learning: This will be set every Monday and will need to be completed by the following Sunday at the latest.  Usually, children we be asked to complete TTRockstars, reading or a spelling based activity. Please note that these are all short activities which should not take a huge amount of your child’s time. If you require any support, please let us know via seesaw and we will answer your queries as soon as possible. In order to minimise the amount of items being exchanged between home and school, homework with be set on Seesaw whenever possible. Spelling booklets can remain at home until they are complete.
