September 2024
Hi Owls,
We are really looking forward to seeing you in school on Tuesday 3rd September. We hope that you have had a lovely summer break and that you managed to get some rest too.
You will need to arrive at school at 8.40am and the school day will finish at 3.15pm. You are welcome to bring a piece of fruit or another type of healthy snack to eat at morning break time. This will help to increase your energy levels for our work after play. You will also need a named water bottle.
During Term 1, we will have both our P.E. lessons on a Monday. You will be required to come to school in your P.E. kit, which you will stay in for the whole day. Remember that you are not allowed to wear any jewellery during P.E. lessons, so you must be prepared to remove it. P.E. on Monday morning will be hockey led by Dauntsey’s Outreach Programme and in the afternoon with PH Sports.
In Owls, you will have weekly Spelling and Maths homework and daily reading homework. Year 6 will also have weekly SPaG homework. Year 5 will have a termly project linked to our theme. Spelling homework (Year 5 and Year 6) , and SPaG homework for Year 6, is to be handed in on a Monday and you will also have your weekly spelling test on a Monday. Maths homework is to be handed in on Thursday. Reading is a very important skill and one that we need to keep practising. It is important that you read regularly at home to an adult from both fiction and non-fiction texts. Your parent or carer will need to sign your homework diary weekly. You will be able to choose a reading book from school, which you can log and borrow to take home.
If you are intending to leave school on your own at the end of the day, please ask your parents or carer to email
Please see the theme/topic map to find out what exciting knowledge skills we will be working on this term.
We look forward to seeing you soon,
Mrs. Groves, Mrs. Lamont and Mrs. Marshall
