Welcome to Falcon Class! 

Our teacher is Mrs Mills and our teaching assistants are Mrs Cross and Mrs Farrow. 

Summer Term 2025 

Welcome back to school for the final half term of this academic year. 

As always, please help your child to progress as much as they possibly can by supporting them with their reading.  We ask that all children read four times per week and that their reading record is signed by an adult to reflect this.  

Coming up this half term.....

Monday 2nd June 2025 - The second half of the Summer Term begins

Tuesday 3rd June 2025 - Sports Day (weather permitting)

Friday 13th June 2025 - Whole school Spirituality Day 

Thursday 26th June 2025 - Year 4 & Year 5 trip to Blackpool Circus

AS ALWAYS, PLEASE CONTINUE TO CHECK FOR UPDATES AND LOOK OUT FOR OUR WHOLE SCHOOL NEWSLETTER FOR BREAKING NEWS AND INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER EVENTS.  

Please note PE days for this half term. 

Falcon Class PE days are now Wednesdays and Fridays.

The children will have a PE session with Mrs England on a Wednesday (except for the children who currently go swimming) and a PE lesson with Mrs Mills on Friday.  

Children are invited to come to school in their school PE kit on these days.  Please ensure that full St John's PE kit is worn. 

Thank you for your cooperation with this.  Any questions - please just ask!

Homework

To ensure that homework is meaningful and manageable for all of our families at St John's, we would like the main focus to be on reading.  As above, please support your child by encouraging them to read just a few pages of their home reading book four times per week.  Please ensure that their reading record is signed by an adult to reflect the reading that is being done at home.  

We also encourage children to learn their weekly spellings at home too - please ensure that your child's spelling sheet is completed and returned to school on a Friday. 

Finally, given the importance of times tables, please encourage your child to visit and play on TTRockstars at least three times per week.  This will really help their progress with times tables and wider maths.  Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any difficulties logging in.  

Optional Homework

For those children/families who do feel that they would like to do something more, please find below details of optional homework for this half term.  This can be completed and brought to school at any point before the end of the term. 

Optional Homework 

This half term, I would like you to create a piece of art work of your choosing.  This can be in the style of any artist that we have studied this year or an artist that interests you. 

Your art work could be a collage, a painting, a drawing - be as creative as you like!

Times Tables are a must...please use Times Tables Rock Stars to help you get even better with your times tables.  If you are unsure of your log-in, please ask Mrs Mills.
