Current Topic - Term 4
This term, much of our English work will relate to our new book, Holes by Louis Sachar. We will explore and write our own explanation text and character and setting descriptions. Towards the end of the term, we will compare and contrast the book and the film. Whilst reading Holes, we will continue to develop our key reading skills such as retrieval practice, inference and word clarification. In maths, we will be moving onto areas which are relatively new to the children: ratio and algebra. Throughout the term, we will be learning about two historical Evolution theorists, Charles Darwin and Mary Anning. What with mock SATS and Parent's Evening week, we are set to have a busy term ahead!
Reminders and Routines
- Children should be reading at least 5 times a week - please ask them to tell you what they are reading about.
- Children should be practising their time tables - including the related division facts. This could be done using Time Tables Rockstars.
- Children should be learning their spellings every day so that they are known "for life".
- When they come to school, they need to bring a water bottle.
- Take time during the week to complete their homework - they will get a piece of Maths and English each week. You can always check what homework has been set by looking in Google Classroom.
PE Days - Term 4
PE will take place on a Monday and Tuesday (Children should come to school dressed in their PE Kit.)
