Homework and supporting school work at home is more important than ever this year.

Our homework will focus on statutory spellings (Y3-Y6 words), reading comprehension, SPaG questions and arithmetic and problem solving skills.

Reading remains a vital element of supporting your child's learning. Please continue to encourage your child to read regularly and continue to listen to them reading and share books together.

A Few Reminders:

PE: Children have PE every Tuesday and Thursday this half term. Children should come dressed in their PE kit on these days.

Water: Children are encouraged to bring in a bottle of water each day which they can access at any time. Please ensure your child’s name is on their bottle.

Snack: If you wish to send in a snack, please make sure it is healthy - no chocolate, crisps or sweets. We are a nut free school. Snack can also be purchased from the school kitchen using credit on your child’s dinner money account.

English

This half term we are using "The Selfish Giant" by Oscar Wilde to inspire our writing. Using passive voice, semi-colons and formal speech and writing, we will retell the story from a different character's point of view.

Reading

To support our reading skills this half term, we will be reading "The Happy Prince and other tales" also by Oscar Wilde. We will be focusing on drawing inferences, evaluating author's choices and making comparisons.

Maths

Our Maths focus is on fractions, decimals and percentages using the White Rose small steps this half term. We will continue to work on our reasoning and problem solving skills.
