Term 3
Welcome back and Happy New Year to you all. We hope you have all had a fantastic break, hopefully better than last year, and look forward to hearing all about what your children have been up to!
Term 3 kicks off with Geography Week where the whole school will be focusing on Switzerland, specifically. We have many exciting things planned to immerse ourselves in Swiss life, including dance and creating some Art pieces.
Our topic this term is The Circus is coming to Town. This science topic looks at forces and magnets and sound. The children will investigate friction and will understand more about the magnetic poles. Through investigation they will identify that magnets attract some materials yet repel others. We will launch this topic with an exciting visit from Professor Elfic who will run science and circus skills workshops in Week 3. More details to come.
We will also link our English lessons to this topic using a wonderful book called Leon and The Place Between.
PE will take place on a Friday for all children. On Tuesday Carnival, Kites and Balloons will have PE and on a Thursday Harbour and Dragon Boats will have PE.
They will need to have a correct PE kit including warm layers as they will go outside for one of these lessons. Check on the school website if you are unsure of the correct PE kit. Please make sure all kit is named.
