Letter to Parents
Dear Parents,
Welcome to the start of the last term!
This letter is just to inform you of the exciting topics we will be covering in our humanities this term. We welcome any artefacts (not precious ones), posters and books you may have that the children want to bring in.
History
Changing Britain – 1970 to modern times
We will be studying the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and the 21st century. If any parents have fond memories or photographs that they would like to share with the class, please feel free!
Geography
Settlement
We will be studying where people settle, the centre, the suburbs, the outskirts, country villages, roads and comparing places. The children will be set a project after half term to complete at home.
Science
Microbes
This topic is split into two lessons; theory and practical. We will be studying what microbes are, your body, bacteria, fungi, viruses, microbe plants and animals, microbes make food, microbes and disease and staying healthy.
Literacy
We are studying fiction this term and looking at how to set out and interpret stories and poetry. We will be making a poetry book and learning about Shakespeare and how the English language has changed over the years.
Other information you may find useful is:
- The residential trip to Cholderton rare Breed’s Farm is fast approaching! We are all very excited. Please can you ensure your child has the required clothing and equipment as specified on the packing list. A timetable of activities will be distributed shortly.
- The science project for the leavers is expected to be completed by 5th July and handed in before half term for a quick check on progress.
- The DARE course will be continuing this term as PC Wright missed a few sessions last term. We will be inviting you to the graduation towards the end of this term; details to follow.
Thank you for your continued support
Yours sincerely,
Helen (Star Room Teacher)
