Our learning this half term
- Reading – We’re looking forward to finding out what happens at the end of our class novel and will continue developing our inference skills in our daily reading sessions. We will continue to explore the work of different authors in our weekly Book Club.
- Writing – We’ll start the term exploring what makes a good recount before writing our own.
- Spelling – See the weekly homework sheet for details of the words we will be focussing on.
- Maths – We’ll be consolidating our understanding of rounding before looking at some more challenging addition and subtraction problems.
- Times Tables – We start our ‘Going for Gold’ sessions and focus on two key facts each week (see the homework sheet for the facts of the week.)
- History – We’ll be exploring the key historical concepts of power, invasion and innovation through our study of the Romans.
- PE – The class will be very excited to know that our game focus for this half-term is dodgeball.
- RE – We’ll be thinking about how people (of different faiths and no faith) express spirituality.
I look forward to another action-packed and fun-filled half-term. If you have any questions or I can help at all please do let me know. You can grab me at the end of the day at pick-up or by calling or emailing the School Office.
