    Good Afternoon and welcome to a well-earned weekend.

    Hawking class have worked exceptionally hard this week, mastering long multiplication in Maths and completing their space themed adventure story in Literacy. VIPERS has introduced them to a newspaper report about the 1969 Moon Landing.

    In Science, we have learned about the life cycle of stars and can now name different types of star, whilst in History we have continued to explore how different life was for rich and poor people in Tudor England.

    Next week we will be writing Space themed poetry and working on division in Maths. We are also looking forward to our visit from Partake History to experience our Tudor Day. If you haven't yet paid £10 for your child to do this, could you please click on the link below.

  • Tudor Experience Day

    Published 12/01/23, by Mel Harris

    Happy Thursday Everyone!

    This term we are learning all about the Tudors and to help with our learning we have booked an experience day with a company called Partake History. They will spend the whole day in school with us, delivering a Tudor Day for Hawking class.

    The Tudor Day will take place on Friday 3rd of February and the children will participate in a range of experiences including:

    • Handling artefacts of the time to stimulate group investigation and discussion work
    • Investigating and experiencing Tudor spices and finding out about their importance to Tudor life
    • Using a quill pen to become a master calligrapher.
    • Witnessing the gradual transformation of a girl and a boy into wealthy Tudor children as they are dressed, layer by layer.
    • Performing the dances and etiquette of Tudor court and country.

  • Happy New Year!

    Published 07/01/23, by Mel Harris

    Welcome to 2023.

    I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a well-earned rest.

    Our topic this term focuses on the Terrible Tudors, alongside a science focus on the Earth in Space and Forces. This half-term’s curriculum information and knowledge organisers can be found as  attachments at the bottom of this blog.

    What is our class text for this term?

    Once we have finished Holes, we will be turning our attention to a book I shared with the children the very first time I met them: Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen. Whilst, it doesn’t link directly to our history topic, it is nevertheless a beautifully written book that captures the reader from the very first chapter.

     

    A reminder of the school expectations for your child:

    * Read at least 3 times a week at home (or alternatively, come to Reading Lair!)

    * Check and sign your child’s home-school diary every week.

    * Remain in the green zone on Doodlemaths and Doodlespell (this totals approximately 40 minutes every week).

    * Work on achieving the Silver Reading challenges (these can be found at the back of your child’s home-school diary).

    * Check the class blog regularly to see what we’re doing in school.
