Welcome back to the second part of the Spring term!

I hope you are all feeling refreshed after the holidays!

We will be learning lots of exciting things and this half-term’s curriculum information and the knowledge organiser can be found as an attachment at the bottom of the blog (we'll be looking at the second part of our topic-the Brilliant Bronze Age and the indestructible Iron Age).  Looking at the knowledge organisers can be incredibly useful as it helps consolidate your child's learning and enable your child to feel confident in lessons.

What is our class text for this half-term?

Last half-term we focused on the books 'The Great Cave & The Great Flood by Terry Deary.  This half-term we will be focusing on the class ‘Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes. Feel free to purchase a copy if you are able to.

​

Here are the school expectations for your child:

- To be reading at least 3 x a week at home and for home schoolbooks to be signed every week. You could even attend reading lair to do this!

- For children to remain in their green zone on doodlemaths and doodlespell (this is approximately 40 minutes every week).

- For children to work on their Silver Reading challenges (these can be found at the back of your child’s home school book).

- Checking the class blog regularly to see what we’re doing in school.

 

PE:

PE with Miss Robinson is on a Wednesday and Friday afternoon please ensure your child brings their PE kit into school for these days. Please also ensure their PE kit is clearly labelled.
