Welcome to the Autumn term. We hope you’ve had a relaxing Summer holiday, and are ready to hit the ground running in our new academic year. Our main topic this term will be the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. We will be studying: how these invaders settled and battled for dominance across our land; how they lived their lives; what they believed in; and how their legacy is still evident in Britain today. We will explore the chronology of this time period and compare to other periods of history we have explored.

PE will be on a  Tuesday and a Wednesday. Children will be multi skills, hockey, tag ruby and gymnastics.

Please ensure pupils have the correct PE kit on those days.

I hope your child is looking forward to the year ahead. There is a very high expectation placed on your child to try their best and show the ’Mount Pleasant Way’ at all times. Mistakes will always happen, friendship fallouts are guaranteed but being kind, respectful and tolerant is the minimum requirement for every child in Hotspur class. If there are any concerns with regards your child in relation to other children, please do keep an open mind at all times as there are always different perspectives —I am always readily available by email for any queries or concerns. The email for Hotspur class is: staffhotspur@mountpleasantsbmat.com. I am sure Hotspur have a great year ahead of themselves; please make sure to follow the class page for updates throughout the term.
