The second half of the Summer term is already in full swing and the children have been working extremely hard.
Over the next few weeks they will be ending their units of work with ‘Hot Tasks’ displaying their knowledge.
Year 1/2 will be explaining why the Plague had such a devastating effect on London. In Geography, they will describe where the population of Australia is located and why and in Science, they will be classifying unusual animals.
Year 3 will be creating a holiday brochure, encouraging people to visit Scandinavia in Geography. In History they will be analysing the effects of the Anglo Saxon and Viking invasions on life in Britain and in Science they will compare and contrast the life cycles of different groups of animals.
In addition there are numerous events and trips going on through the term:
- Year 3 are busy rehearsing their Viking Play ready to share with parents next week.
- Year 1/2 will be hosting their Grandparents for a picnic in the middle of July.
- Both Year groups will enjoy trips out: Year 1/2 to Shepreth and Year 3 to West Stow
- Sports Days will take place towards the end of term
- The children will be engaging with members of the Community as part of their Community Outreach Projects
Children will also take part in a number of transition activities prior to moving into new classes in September.
It’s shaping up to be a very busy but exciting half term!
A few reminders:
- Swimming: Please remember that children must have a one piece swim-suit and a swimming hat
- Hats water and suncream: As the weather gets warmer, please make sure children have a sun hat to wear and that they have suncream applied before they arrive in school. Children may bring suncream to apply themselves but CPS staff are unable to do this for them. In addition, please make sure your child has a water bottle available.
- Please make sure children arrive at school on time as latecomers often miss important information at the start of the day and may feel at a disadvantage.
- We accumulated a huge amount of lost property over last term. Please make sure that all clothing is named so that it can be returned when lost.
- PE kits need to be in school all week. Over the summer term, children will need shorts and a t-shirt as well as socks and trainers.
- Over the course of last term, a number of children began bringing in chocolate, biscuits and sweets for a snack. We request that only healthy snacks are bought into school. All KS1 children have fruit provided for snack time should they wish to have it.
- Toys and key rings should not be brought into school unless agreed with class teachers. We would urge you to consider sending in expensive water bottles and back packs.
