PE
PE is on a Wednesday this half term.
The children will need to come into school in their PE kit and please remove any earrings at home. Our PE kit is black shorts and a white T-Shirt.
This term in English, we will be reading The King Who Banned the Dark.
It is about a young prince who is scared of the dark. When he becomes king, he makes a rule that darkness is not allowed, so the sun always shines.
At first, this seems like a good idea, but soon everyone becomes tired because they cannot sleep. The people help the king understand that darkness is important.
In the end, the king learns to be brave and accepts that both light and dark are needed.
In this topic, children will learn about how animals and humans grow and change over time. They will explore different stages of life, including babies, children, and adults.
Pupils will also learn about basic needs for survival, such as food, water, and exercise, and begin to understand how to stay healthy. They will look at how different animals grow and change, comparing their life cycles to humans.
