Autumn Term - RNLI and Local Heroes

This term we will be learning about the RNLI

and local heroes such as Swansea Jack

We have already had a fantastic trip to Mumbles RNLI and we will be

linking our learning to this visit and building on what we found out.

Our trip gave us lots of ideas about how we can learn about

staying safe when we're near the water, whether at the coast,

inland by rivers, canals, lakes and reservoirs.

We will be learning about what to do and what not to do,

if we ever see someone in trouble in the water.

Please see our class Topic Web for further information.

Manners, Respect and Effort are our whole school qualities.

We expect these qualities throughout everything we do. 

If you strive to achieve these then you will succeed in class, in Grange and in your future lives! 

Important class information

P.E 

Our P.E session will be every Thursday afternoon, but we will also have many other

daily opportunities to participate in physical activities in our learning.

Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their P.E kit on Thursday's which should include

suitable footwear and appropriate P.E. clothing that can be worn indoors or outdoors. 

Drinks Bottles and Snacks

We are a Healthy School and promote the children having continuous access to fresh water.

Please ensure your child brings in a labelled drinks bottle and one healthy snack every day (e.g. fruit, vegetables, or cereal bars).

Daily Guided Reading Carousel

We begin every morning with a guided reading carousel, during which time all pupils have the opportunity to read with their teacher, read with their Year 6 buddies, practise recognition and letter formation of sounds and words, access their reading Eggs account and select their own books for pleasurable reading in our quiet area.
