Summer Term One - Key Information
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 continuing with Decimals then moving onto Percentages, 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, then began to read ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar. This term we will be completing ‘Holes’ and then moving onto the modern children's classic ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ by J.K. Rowling. 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-school books to be signed every week. You could even attend Reading Lair to do this!
- Remain in the green zone on Doodlemaths and Doodlespell (this is approximately 10 minutes per day).
- 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). It's also not too late to try for Bronze!
- Check the class blog regularly to see what we’re doing in school.
PE
All children will continue to do PE every Monday and every Friday afternoon.
Please ensure the appropriate kit is in school for these days and labelled with your child’s name.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me or pass on a message to the office.
