Chestnut Class

Teachers: Mrs E Dennis-Launder and Mrs G Smith-Little

This half term, our main topic will be Travel and Transport. Within the curriculum this half term we will also be studying Easter and the events of Holy Week in RE; Citizenship in PSHE; Digital Writing in Computing, Rhythm and Pitch in Music and the human body and senses in Science.

Homework will be handed out every Friday and should be completed and returned by Wednesday. Homework tasks are designed to reinforce what we have been learning in class and provide additional practice.

PE will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. The lessons will focus on Gymnastics and Invasion games. Please ensure your child comes to school with a complete PE kit, a plain tracksuit for colder days and appropriate footwear. Earrings should always be removed on PE days.

Regular reading at home is vital to your child’s progress. Please encourage children to read every day and record this in their reading record. We check reading records weekly every Monday, and any support you provide at home makes a significant difference.
