Miss Thomas and Miss Harris

Spring Term 2020

Important days/dates:
Miss Thomas’ Class: PE—every Tuesday and Friday
Miss Harris’ Class: PE-every Tuesday and Thursday
Forest School-Friday. We would like the children to come to school in their forest school clothes (waterproof, warm clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty and wellies/boots-all labelled please) with a labelled plastic bag to put muddy clothes and boots into afterwards. They will need to bring their school uniform and school shoes in a separate bag to change into. Thanks!
Homework-issued on Fridays. To be handed in the following Thursday.

Moon Zoom!

The countdown has begun. Are you ready for blast off?
This half term, we’ll travel through space to learn about the Solar System. We’ll investigate an alien crash site, write an incident report and try to find the aliens who have landed! Where could they be? We’ll make spaceships, space buggies and space-related toys. Books and photographs will help us to learn about the first lunar landing and the astronauts who venture into space. Floor robots will be programmed to move around an alien landscape, and we will compose space sounds and dances. We’ll also explore satellite images, investigate rockets and use ICT to communicate our ideas and present our work. At the end of our project, we’ll share our learning in a variety of different ways. We’ll read our exciting science-fiction stories aloud, sing space-themed songs and create an exhibition of our space models. It will be out of this world!
Help your child: There’s so much to learn about space! Why not stay up late and look at the stars? A stargazing app could help you identify well-known constellations. You could also visit the local library and find some exciting space stories and information books to share. Alternatively, create extraordinary aliens using modelling clay or a drawing app.
Well done to those of you who have completed your Space homework...the rockets look fantastic! We are always here if you have any concerns or questions and would like to thank you for your continued support.
