Kestrels Summer 2021

Welcome back!

This term’s learning will be based around the topic of ‘Tomorrows World’ and we will be looking at different types of pollution, recycling and what we can do to look after our world. We will also be looking at inventions and their impact on the world throughout History, both in this country and internationally. We will look at important inventors and be relating the past to the world that we live in today.

In Maths we will start the term studying multiplication and division before moving onto fractions. In Science we are looking at Life Cycles and Reproduction and then moving onto Forces. On top of this we will be doing lots of Art, P.E. Spanish and much more.

Important Notes for parents

Swimming will take place every Thursday morning and PE with the sports coaches will take place every Thursday afternoon. Please can you ensure your child comes to school on Thursdays with their swimming costume/trunks on underneath their school PE kit (school PE kit is white or t shirt or polo shirt, black shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms, red jumper or cardigan and trainers). Please ensure long hair is tied back for both swimming and PE.

Contact/Class Dojo

At Abingdon Primary we use Class Dojo which is embedded within every year group. We use Class Dojo to engage parents by sharing photos and videos of exciting moments in the classroom. It is also an effective way for teachers and parents to communicate.

At Abingdon Primary, each child has their own Times Table Rockstars account which they can use to help them learn the multiplication tables. It is essential that they use this every week in order to improve their skills and the speed of their recall.
