Dear all,

Welcome back to your final term in Indigo class. I hope you and your families have all enjoyed your Easter break.

This term our topic is the Vikings and the class book we will be studying is Beowulf. There are many versions of this story, however we will be focusing on the version by one of our favourite class authors- Michael Morpurgo.

As we briefly discussed last term, I would like to see a wider variety of books being read in Indigo Class. If anyone would like any recommendations then please come and ask me. This will hugely benefit you and begin to prepare for you the types of text you will study in Violet Class in September.

Mrs Ryles will continue to teach you all day on Tuesdays and you will be continuing with the same timetable for that day. Please remember to bring your PE kits in on Tuesdays and Wednesday, however it would be extremely helpful if they are in school all week in case of any sudden timetable changes.

Homework will have a slightly different structure to it this term. Projects will be issued to you either through emails home to parents or via edmodo. You will all be emailed the access code to edmodo for you to sign up to and instructions will be provided when necessary. These projects will require multiple weeks to complete and hand in dates will be given out with each project. It will also benefit you all to continue with Doodle Maths and to see whether you can become one of Pear Tree’s ‘Top Doodlers’!

We will be heading to York for an educational day visit on the 19th May 2017. We will be taking part in multiple activities, which will assist us with our working surrounding the Vikings.

Please do not hesitate to email me with any queries KSwan@peartreeprimary.co.uk
