And so, we reach the Christmas break. An eventful half-term draws to a close, full of new experiences and memories. We have learnt a lot this half-term, looking at fractions, multiplication and division in maths, and studying various other topics through a range of subjects in the broader curriculum. We enjoyed performing a pantomime and are already looking forward to our Year 6 production! In 2026, we will begin the year studying poetry in English and will begin swimming lessons during the second week back. Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year! 

Key information

PE will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please come into school wearing your PE kit on these days. Please note the Tuesday PE slot will be swimming.

Homework and reading books will be sent home on a Friday and must be returned on Wednesday. Reading records need to be filled in at least three times a week and signed by an adult at home and brought into school on Fridays for us to check.

Please remember to send your child in with a water bottle and a healthy snack.
