Boscawen Newsletter 21st April 2017
Dear Parents and Carers,
The children have made a great start on our new topic, What did the Romans do for us?
This term is a very busy one, so here are some reminders and dates:
- Tuesday 25th April – swimming starts – don’t forget your kit!
- 12TH June – SRE week
- Wednesday 14th June – Key Stage 2 Sports Day
- PE will be on Fridays, we will try to get outside as often as possible, so please check that your child’s trainers/plimsolls are in their kit.
As you already know, we are focusing on times tables this term. By the end of Year 3, children are expected to know the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables by heart. They should be able to recite the table in order, answer multiplication out of order and know the related division facts for each table. This week, we will start with the 2 times table. We know a lot of children are already confident with this table so this will be a chance for them to recap these number facts.
If you need to contact us at any time, please drop in to see us or email us on sburns@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk or esmitheram@perranporth.sch.uk.
Thank you.
Mrs Burns and Mrs Smitheram.

Boscawen Newsletter 3rd March 2017
Dear Parents and Carers,
We have had a really busy week, celebrating World Book Day in different ways all week, e.g. the book swap and story assemblies. Thank you so much for all the effort you went to with the children’s costumes, they looked amazing. Please look at our blog for photos.
We have also continued with our learning based on James and the Giant Peach, as well as carrying on with our fractions work and our topic.
Next week, our literacy will continue to be based on James and the Giant Peach, as well as our geography topic and we will begin our science investigations on forces and magnets.
As always, if you have any questions, please drop in to see us or email us on sburns@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk or esmitheram@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk .
Thank you.
Mrs Smitheram and Mrs Burns.
