Term 5, Week 1

Key dates 

  • Monday 20th April - Term 5 starts.

  • In Term 5, we are hoping that we will be able to do PE outside. Please make sure your child has appropriate footwear in their PE bag at the beginning of Term 5. We will be sending PE kits home during the Easter holiday to be washed. 

  • The first groups of children will be starting outdoor learning this week so please make sure they have everything they need on Tuesday/Friday. Please refer to the email communications.

Tapestry observation 

The focus this week is History. We would like you to look for something from the past in your house or when you are out and about. For example, you may have a CD/tape player (now replaced with music streaming and Bluetooth speakers). During our history lesson, we will be asking your child to talk about the ‘old’ item. 

You can also send us any moments that you feel are significant in your child’s learning or want to share with your child’s class teachers. Click the links below to find out how to add observations from different devices.
