Welcome Back to Summer Term: Sow, Grow and Farm!
Welcome back to a brand-new term!
I hope you are all feeling refreshed after the Easter holidays!
We will be learning lots of exciting things this half term focusing on Farming in the UK and around the world in Geography; and Living Things and their Habitats in Science. In Maths we are starting with Perimeter and Area and for English our fiction model text is called "Red". The curriculum information and the knowledge organisers for both Geography and Science can be found as an attachment at the bottom of the blog.
What is our class text for this half-term?
Last half-term we focused on the book ‘Boy in the Tower’ by Polly Ho Yen This term we will be sharing the children's classic 'The Hobbit' by JRR Tolkein. Feel free to purchase a copy if you would like your child to follow along in class.
A reminder of the school expectations for your child:
- Read at least 3 times a week at home and for home schoolbooks to be signed every week. You could even attend Reading Lair to do this!
- Remain in their green zone on Doodlemaths and Doodlespell (this is approximately 40 minutes every week).
- Begin to work on their Gold award but don’t worry if you’re still working on your Silver (these can be found at the back of your child’s home school book).
- Check the class blog regularly to see what we’re doing in school.
PE and Swimming:
All children will now be doing PE every Monday and Swimming on a Thursday afternoon (many thanks to the parents who have volunteered to help us with this).
Please ensure the appropriate kit is in school for these days and labelled.
Upcoming dates for your diary:
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me or pass on a message to the office.
