Welcome back to the second half of the Autumn term! We have a lot of exciting things planned for you.

What will be learning about this half-term?

Below, you'll find our History and Science Knowledge Organisers, which outline the key learning for this half-term.  

This half term, we have our trip to Tamworth Castle to learn more about knights and castle life.  Please make sure that you have given consent for your child to attend via Arbor. Payments can be made on there too.

At the end of the term we will be heading to watch the panto as a whole School! 

 

What is our class text for this half-term?

This half-term, we will start to explore chapter books with the class. We will begin by reading 'The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark' by Jill Tomlinson. We will also be looking at 'The Very Last Castle' by Travis Jonker, 'Paper Dolls' by Julia Donaldson and The Star Whale (poems) by Nicola Davies.

 

What are the school homework expectations?

• Reading: Please ensure your child is reading at least 3 times a week at home and that their home-school reading books are signed each week. Encourage your child to work toward their Bronze Reading Challenges, which are located at the back of their home-school book. You’re also welcome to attend Reading Lair to complete this together!

• DoodleMaths: Children should aim to stay in their Green Zone, which means completing approximately 40 minutes of practice each week. 

• Class Blog: Check the class blog regularly to keep up with everything we’re doing in school!
