Dear Parents/Carers
Firstly, we would just like to say a big thank you for all your support with SATs and helping preparing the children. We are revising key areas and spending this week completing practise questions on SATs Boot Camp, through quizzes, a scavenger hunt and in supported groups. The children are doing well and we have continued to encourage and support all areas of learning. We would appreciate the continued practise at home, allowing your child to access SATs Boot Camp.
For our English topic, we would like to watch Hugo (PG) as part of our English work linked to our class book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, supporting our learning around character, setting and inference. The film is a heartfelt, visually intense story about magic, adventure and early cinema.

The film focuses on loss, loneliness, and poverty, as the main character is an orphan surviving alone in a 1930s Paris train station. There is an adult character who struggles with alcohol and is unable to care for the main characters at the beginning of the film and mild themes of danger and death.

The class have loved the book and children who watch the film will take away worthwhile messages about perseverance and overcoming challenges.

If you would like to contact us about any information, please do so.
