Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope that your child has had a not ‘too long ‘ break from school . The class seem focused and enthusiastic and everyone seems to have settled in well.
The Angelus:
The Angelus is a beautiful prayer, based on the Annunciation, which people used to say every day at noon and at six. We have have started to say this prayer in class every day at noon. If you would like to find out more about this prayer (and perhaps, pray at home), here are some links:

In brief – our curriculum at the start of the year will be:
RE- Ourselves – there will be more on this in a separate post
PE is on Tuesday and Friday.
English – Journey ( a picture book as a writing and discussion stimulus by Aaron Becker)
Maths – Place Value
Humanities – Saxons and Maps and Settlements
Science – Earth in Space
Music – Living on a prayer !
Art – Objects and meaning using pointilism
Computing – On-line safety and programming ( We are Programmers module)
Homework- I do not intend to use a homework exercise book in order to minimise the amount of paper going to and from home. Most homework will be exercises on Google Classroom or using other web based applications.
Kind regards,
Mr Creaton
