Our youngest children in Nursery and Reception are in Mercury Class, Our Year 1,2 and 3 class are called Saturn Class and our Year 3,4,5 and 6 Class is called Jupiter Class. There will be a special Space day planned each term linked to our whole school topic so the children can develop their understanding of space in more detail. Watch out for further details on this in October’s news. Whole School Topic For the start of the new school year and the Autumn term our curriculum will be taught through our exciting new whole school topic ‘Inventions & Inventors’. Each class will participate in cross-curricular learning about different inventors and types of inventions.

European Language Day This month, as part of the World Day of Languages, the children will be celebrating the wonderful lan- guages and culture of our continent Europe! Throughout the day, the children will take their passports and travel to different European countries and discover greetings, vocabulary, currency, food and land- marks. We will map the countries we visit and consider how best to travel there. Bawdsey Residential Trip Our children in Years 4 and 5 are off this month for 3 days to the newly refurbished PGL centre at Bawdsey near Woodbridge. The children will participate in various team building and physical activi- ties, learning new skills and using their growth mindset to challenge themselves in new situations! It looks set to be a wonderful opportunity for all of our children to build their self-confidence and to get learning in a new outside environment.
