Welcome back Doves!
Doves
Our teachers are Miss Richards (AM) and Miss Atkinson (PM).
Miss Simons will also be helping out in the afternoons.
Mr Thomas will teach P.E on Wednesday.
Humanities
This term our topic will be 'Castles'. We have an overarching question that drives our learning and this is 'Who would live in a castle like this?'
Science
We will learn to explore everyday materials and their uses.
PE days
Our PE dates this term are Monday and Wednesday. Please come to school in PE kit on both of those days. Details of our PE kit can be found on the website.
EARRINGS MUST BE REMOVED ON PE DAYS PLEASE.
Art and design
We will be exploring craft and design using maps as a stimulus. We will be engaging in print making.
RE
We will be learning all about Easter and understanding why this time is so important to Christians.
Computing
We will be learning how to use Scratch Jr. We will learning that coding is writing in a special language so that the computer understands what to do. We will understand that the character in ScratchJr is controlled by the programming blocks. We will then write a program to create a musical instrument or tell a joke.
Music
We will be exploring call and response using instruments. The theme will be African animals.
Homework
The most important homework is to read at home. We recommend this is done at least 3 times a week and note this down in our home school diaries.
Spellings and phonics will be sent home weekly and we would encourage you to support your child in learning these.
Dates
Look out for dates of parents' evenings and other exciting activities on the website or in our newsletter Burntstump Bugle.
As always, we love to hear from parents or carers, so if you'd like to get in touch via email to the office@burntstump.snmat.org.uk by phone or in person, please do not hesitate. We're always happy to help and love to hear successes that the children have had outside of school.
Please find our Knowledge Organisers below. These key documents have all the knowledge your child needs to access current and future learning.
If you have any questions about your child's learning, please come and find us.
