AUTUMN TERM 2O26

Friday 2nd October

This week we have been writing diary entries from Shackleton's Endurance expedition to Antarctica; thinking about writing in first person, past tense and using dialogue to move the action in our writing forward. Everyone has done a fabulous job and you will get to hear some of our writing in our class assembly today! 

We have also moved onto our addition and subtraction unit in maths this week as we have completed our first unit on place value. This unit focuses on the mental and written methods we might use to complete addition and subtraction unit and forms the basis for a lot of the problem solving we complete during Year 5 and 6.

This week in art, we used the natural world for our typography inspiration. We created lettering and words out of flowers, sticks, leaves and other things we found in the Wild Garden!

Friday 11th September 2026 

The children have had a wonderful first full week back at school after the summer. We have worked hard on our Ernest Shackleton topic, enjoyed our first swimming lesson at Southam Leisure Centre and gotten stuck into our first maths unit about place value.

Next week, we have an archery day on Wednesday 16th September, where every children will have an opportunity to learn to shoot a bow and arrow and then compete against their friends in a fun tournament. This is for all children in years 1-6 and each child will need their full Priors PE kit with a long sleeved jumper/top with them in order to participate.

 

Friday 4th September 2026

Welcome back! Here is a quick run down of some helpful information you might need this half term for Owl class!

Mondays - Spelling test and new spellings given.

Wednesday - Swimming. Please bring your swim wear, a towel, goggles and a swim hat if your hair is longer/touches your shoulders. 

Friday - PE day.  Please bring full school PE kit.

School lunches must be booked with FreshStarts Catering. 

After-school club must be booked with S4A before the end of the school day - they cannot accommodate last-minute attendance without a booking, and you will be called to collect if your children are not booked in.  This is different to last year where children could be accommodated without booking.
