Key Reminders

• We arrive promptly to school at 8.50am. We finish at 3.30pm.
• Tuesdays and Thursdays are our PE days - we expect appropriate kit to be in school on these days.
• Spellings and spelling homework is given (and tested) every week on Thursdays with house points awarded for full marks or outstanding effort.
• Reading homework is to read their book banded books 3 times per week. An adult must sign their diary so that they earn stamps towards reading pins. Diaries are checked on Fridays.
• Mathematics homework is to learn all times tables that are not already known. If you know all of them to 12x12, start on the next ones i.e. 13, 14, 15 times table etc. Don't forget the 25 times table - which is a very useful one! Tables are tested every Friday and house points given to children who pass a challenge or improve on their previous scores. Your child can also achieve house points for practicing this on TTRS.

Summer Term Learning

During the Summer term, our main topic is called, ‘Earth and Beyond’. In geography, they will develop map skills and look at locating and using more complex map skills. We will also look at Biomes and different areas of the globe. We will go onto look at mountain and volcano formation. 

In science, the children will be looking at forces and how they act on an object. We will then go on to look at the solar system and planets around us. 

In R.E., the children will look at significant people. We will then link this to our art learning and create pop art about a significant person to us. 

In PE, the children will be focusing on developing skills in competitive games. We will focus on cricket, rounders, tennis and athletics.
