Welcome back to Term 5. We hope you had a wonderful Easter. We are looking forward to another busy term.                          

PE day is Wednesday for Cricket and Rounders. 

Term 5 - This term our whole school focus is Citizenship.                                                                           

In English, our focus for this term will be looking at rainforest poetry and writing our own, which will include some similes and alliteration. We will then move on to reading the book Nim's Island, which we will use to write a newspaper report.

Maths - We will be completing our unit on Mass and Capacity. We will then move on to more work on fractions and later money. Please familiarise your children with our coins and notes and playing shops at home is a great way to help them understand how to work out calculating the amount of  change needed.

Please don't forget to also practise times-tables at home using TTRockstars.

Homework - 

Ensure you listen to your child read each night and then sign the reading record.

TTRS - Children can use the Times Tables Rockstars app to learn their times tables. Practising little and will often help the children with learning their tables.

Atom - We have a few questions each week to help the children recap their learning.

EdShed - Practising the spellings using games will improve spellings and word knowledge - we set this weekly.

Completing homework will help children in their learning and reinforce knowledge and memory.
