Summer Term:

Welcome back to the summer term. As pupils enter their final term at Bickleigh Down, we will be encouraging them in our school value of aspiration - to keep working hard and trying their best at all times.  

This is a very busy term, as we are sure you are aware, starting with the SAT assessments which take place from May 12th. The children have been well prepared for these and should have nothing to be anxious about. We hope to see them for breakfast before their tests as this gives them time with their peers and is a lovely start to the day.  

Throughout the term, the children will be undertaking transition activities with their allocated secondary schools. This is an exciting time, but is understandably worrying for some and we continue to support the children to make the transition process as stress free as possible. Yes, it is a very busy time - and we have high expectations - but this will ensure that all the children reach their full potential and achieve all that they are capable of. 

Spellings continue to be tested every Monday and children are expected to show that they have learnt their spellings daily. A printed list was sent home at the beginning of the term and a copy is available below. 

PE takes place on a Wednesday (indoor) and Thursday (outdoor), and children should have their PE kit with appropriate footwear in school at all times. We will aim to make the most of the (hopefully) improving weather, so children are likely to be outside in the afternoon on a Wednesday. Please ensure that they have appropriate head coverings and sun cream as required. 

All items of clothing, water bottles, lunch boxes etc. must be clearly named, so that any lost equipment can be returned. 

Below is a link to our Pace Planners, which show what we will be learning this term. 

Finally, post-SATs, we will be telling the children the production they will be doing and will spend a significant portion of the summer term preparing and rehearsing for this.

Thank you for visiting the website and for your continued support of your child’s learning.
