Letter to Parents - April 2012

Dear Parents,

I can’t quite believe we are starting the final term of the year, every year it seems to come around so quickly.  I hope the children have enjoyed their Easter break and are looking forward to another busy term.   

We are delighted to be swimming every week again at Golden Lane, the pool over there is looking fabulous and the children thoroughly enjoyed their first lesson with the new instructors before we finished for Easter.  As always, please ensure your child brings the appropriate swimming kit, including a swimming hat for all and goggles.  If your child is unable to take part for any reason, a note from home is required.

The topics for this term are as follows:-

Science
This year the Rainbows will be exploring different types of Habitats, delving into the undergrowth and looking at how ecosystems work around the globe. 

History
This term we will be learning about the Tudors, an era of change and triumph, spanning from Henry VIII’s Reformation to Elizabeth and the Spanish Armada. We hope the children’s recent trip to Hackney Empire has ignited the children’s imagination.

Geography
We will learn to identify the continents and oceans of the world, going on a fact finding mission to investigate more about global differences in geographical features, cultures, flora and fauna.

Homework
As you are well aware, homework is an extremely important tool in supporting the children’s learning and we are grateful for your valuable support.  Please continue to update the homework diary and feel free to use it as a way of informing me of anything at all you deem necessary, whether homework related or not.

Thank you for your continued support.
