Important Reminders

PE

Our PE days will be Wednesday and Friday. Children will be expected to come to school in their school uniform on these days and to bring their PE kit in their bag, so they can change into it before the PE lesson.  Long sleeved trousers and a hoodie/jacket is strongly advised as the weather gets colder. Also, jewellery including earrings is not permitted during PE and all long hair should be tied up.  Earrings should be taken out, no plasters should be over them to cover up.

Children should be aware of their logins for this - if unsure please contact the class teacher.

There will be regular battles between classes/year groups so please encourage your child to join in.

 

• Reading at least 3 times per week.

Children will be encouraged to read regularly at home, in order to practise the reading skills being taught at school and to improve their fluency. They should bring home their chosen reading book from our Accelerated Reader collection, which will be at the appropriate level. When they have read the book, they will be asked to complete a quiz, to check their comprehension and understanding of what they have read. If children finish their books at home, they are welcome to quiz at home and can access the quiz by following the link below. Children will then be given the opportunity to change their books the next day in school.

Additionally, all children will be encouraged to regularly borrow a book of their choice from our school library.

Autumn 1 

For our first halfterm, in English we will be looking at the book ‘ Curiosity by Markus Motum’. This book is an illustrated non-fiction book about the search for life on Mars, told from the unique perspective of NASA's Mars rover, Curiosity. Discover the incredible story of the search for life on Mars, told from the unique perspective of Curiosity, the Mars Rover sent to explore the red planet. Markus Motum's stylish illustrations and diagrams reveal how a robot travelled 350,000,000 miles to explore a planet where no human has ever been.

 

In maths, we will be looking at numbers up to one million. We will use manipulatives and practical activities to expand on our understanding of this.

 

In foundation subjects are topics include forces in science where we will be taking part in a number of experiments exploring the different types of forces. Aswell as, in Art we will be looking at still life and focusing on artists such as Claude Monet and we will be studying the Bon Jovi classic ‘Livin on a prayer’ in music.

 

We also have some wonderful other opportunities off timetable including the wonderful author ‘Emma Swan’ who will be leading a workshop.
