Butterflies
Welcome to the Summer Term and our new topic - “My Amazing Body”
In Butterflies class, our topic for the Summer Term will be “My Amazing Body”. The children will be exploring their senses, finding out about life-cycles and investigating how to stay healthy.
Our topics are integrated across the curriculum, throughout all subjects. If you have any interesting artefacts, photos or even experiences your child would like to share which would link to our topic, please talk to your child’s teaching staff to arrange bringing them into school.
During International Week, we will be learning all about India; the famous landmarks and buildings, and locating India on a world map. If you or your child would like to bring in any souvenirs or have any interesting facts, your teacher would love to hear or see them during our International Week!
Miss Lilley will be teaching in Butterflies Class, with Mrs Hughes, and Mrs Farmer (Monday-Wednesday) / Mrs Gowing (Thursday-Friday)
Please continue to check Tapestry as we shall be sharing the children’s work and the different activities we will be doing.
If you have any queries or concerns, or if you would like an appointment to see your class teacher, Miss Lilley will be available at the class entrance each morning. If a meeting is required, Miss Lilley can also be available after school, please contact her to arrange this in advance.

PE
We have PE every Tuesday and Thursday. We ask that your child wears their PE kit to school on these days. Please could earrings be removed and longer hair tied back on PE days. PE kit should include black shorts, a white t-shirt, plimsolls and black tracksuit bottoms or leggings.
Please also ensure that your child has spare clothing in their bags in case of any toilet accidents. These should be kept in school on your child’s coat peg.
COOKING
The children will take part in cooking / food preparation activities throughout this term, learning a range of useful life skills linked to cooking. Food will be consumed in class in our daily snack session.
HOMEWORK
Each week your child’s homework will be to complete 30 minutes of Reading Eggs; this is assessed and monitored weekly and to complete a task on School Jam, a Maths App linked to Power Maths.
Children will read daily in school as part of their Read Write Inc lesson, and we ask that they also read at home three times a week, with diaries being read and signed each time. This will help your child to receive their reading sticker and once their bookmark is filled with stickers, lead to them choosing a book of their own to keep and enjoy.
If you have any queries in regards to this homework, please don't hesitate to speak to Miss Lilley.
