Indigo Class 2025 - 2026

Staff 

Mrs O’Connor and Mrs Costa will be working in Indigo Class. 

PE 

PE this half term will be on Monday and Thursday. Children will need to come into school in their PE kits. 

Snacks and Water 

Children will need to bring a water bottle to school every day. Please ensure snacks are named. Snacks could include: a piece of fruit, vegetable sticks, cheese and crackers. We are a nut free school so please no nuts or sweets.   

Communication 

You will receive a weekly update from Indigo Team on a Friday via email. Please read this information carefully as we will share important information, changes and updates about our learning. You can find more information about what we are up to throughout the term in our long and medium term plan documents below. 

Please refer to our Newtletter via email for regular whole school updates. 

Home learning and Reading 

Home Learning will be handed out every Thursday and checked the following Thursday. Regular home reading is key. Please encourage your child to record their home reading in their reading diary and we will check these on a weekly basis.  We also urge you to check the reading diary to ensure your child is reading regularly and understands the text. Being a fluent reader is important but understanding the meaning of unknown words is crucial. Please encourage your child to ask for meanings of new or unfamiliar words so these can form part of their vocabulary. 

So, what will the Spring term bring? We are working with Northwest Drama to develop a performance that we can take to the New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-Under-Lyme, to perform- this is one of the children’s ‘Explorer Curriculum Pledge- ‘perform onstage’. More information will be made available as the term progresses, but this is an incredible experience for the children and one of the highlights of the year. 

 For other curriculum areas please see this term’s Medium Term Plan at the bottom of the webpage. There is also an Autumn timetable attached. 

All that’s left to say is… 

‘Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.’ 

And remember
