This half term our topic is Geography driven and we will be studying North America. Our Science topic is Forces and in P.E we will be doing Fitness and Handball this half term.
PE will take place on Monday – indoor and Friday – outdoor. Remember the children come dressed in their PE kit on those days.
Please be mindful that jewellery is not permitted in school.
In English we are studying the book ‘Queen of the Falls’ by Chris Van Allsburg. The story is based around the Niagara Falls and ties in nicely with our Geography topic.
Homework
Maths Homework will be given out on Fridays and returned on Wednesday, ready for marking in the lesson.
SPaG Homework will be given out on Wednesday’s and returned on Monday’s ready for marking in the lesson.
The children will be given new spelling lists weekly. Although there will be no formal spelling test, the children will be given opportunities in school to practise their spellings and to apply new spelling rules to their writing.
Children are expected to read out loud to an adult and be questioned on the text 4 times a week. This will be recorded in the children's diary and checked every week. The children will continue to bring their diaries and reading books home every day. Thank you for hearing them read and discussing the text with them - we really do appreciate your support.
