Homework
Homework is set on Friday and due the following Wednesday. Each week's homework will be posted on the Class Dojo page on Friday. We use MyMaths for maths, but we will also send home reading comprehension.
Reading
The Class Guided Reading session will take place on a Monday. Small group reading will take place for each reading group once a week and children will change their home reading book on their small group reading day, however, please send your child’s home reading book in their book bag every day.
PE
PE lessons are on Wednesdays with Mr Stevens. The children arrive at school in their PE kit and will wear it all day. The lesson will take place outside, so please ensure that children bring jogging bottoms during cold weather. They may also bring a spare pair of socks in their book bag if they need to change after the lesson.
Summer Term Topics
We will be inspired to write this term by some amazing books, starting with Fantastic Mr Fox.
In History and Geography, we will learn about historical holiday changes and focus on mapwork.
In Science, we will be learning about plants and everyday materials.
Fact Files
We use fact files in school to help your child understand more about the topics covered during the school year. These files contain vocabulary discovered during learning and some key facts and information about the topic.
