Dear Parents,

Hope you had a great Easter and holiday!

Here is an overview of what we will be learning about this term:

Maths:This term in weeks 1-9 we will be working on our number knowledge and addition/subtraction. In weeks 10 and 11 we will be learning about statistics.

Writing: We are beginning the term by revising the basics of how to write and writing about our holidays. Then we will begin narrative writing, making up stories.

I topped up the children's stationery this week with the extras you gave me at the beginning of the year. Please check with your child every now and then to see if there is anything they have run out of.
