This will be taught through a high quality text: The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry.  During the second half of the term we will be reading Harry the Poisonous Centipede goes to sea by Lynne Reid Banks and writing stories and instructions based on the text.

 

Maths

This term we will continue working through our Power Maths books. We will be learning new method to multiply and divide larger numbers. We will also cover money, statistics, length and fractions. We will begin to solve problems and use Maths in real life contexts.  We will continue to learn our times tables and recap our Maths methods in order to help children with all areas of Maths.

In science we will be learning about plants. We will learn about the different parts of plants and their importance for the plant’s survival. We will also learn about the what plants require to thrive. During the second half of the term we will be investigating the different types of rocks and soil. We will learnt about the properties of different rocks and what uses they could have.

Children should  have their P.E. kits in school every day, consisting of: black shorts, house t-shirt of appropriate colour and black school pumps (not trainers) in a bag please.  Please ensure that all items have names on them. This term we are covering dance, outside activities, tag rugby and cricket.

 

Please make sure that jewellery is not worn by your child on their PE day. Jewellery needs to be removed before they come to school as staff are not allowed to remove it. Thank you.

 

Spellings

Your child will be receiving spellings every Friday.  Please practise these at home with your child in preparation for the spelling tests which will take place every Thursday or Friday.

Your child will receive a piece of English and Maths homework every Friday.  Please could we ask that homework books are returned on Wednesdays in order to allow time for marking and preparing their next piece of homework.   

 

Reading Books

Your child will have a reading book and a diary.  Please could you return reading books back to school with a written comment in their reading diary so that their books can be changed.
