Summer 1

Welcome Back!

It has been an exciting start to the summer term having moved into our new school. Everyone has settled quickly into the new routines and we are all gradually getting used the new layout and all the extra steps we are doing!

There's lots to pack in this half-term as it is such a short one. The theme for this half-term is moving on. We will be creating moving carriages in DT and looking at the life cycles of animals in Science. In English and History we will be focusing on the Elizabethan Era and how Elizabeth I brought about calm in society after Kett's Rebellion and in PSHE we will be looking at what changes happen emotionally and physically as we approach adolescence and puberty.  

Please see the curriculum overview below for more details about our learning in each subject.

Weekly Homework

Reading - The expectation is to read 5 times a week. Reading journals are checked every Friday. On completion of a book, if there is a quiz on Accelerated Reader pupils should complete it at home where possible. Please encourage the children to record their quiz results in their reading journals.

To take a reading quiz, please follow the link below:

Times Tables - Children should continue to practise their times tables using Times Table Rock Stars. I will continue to add optional maths homework on the class page. This will focus on an aspect of learning from the maths lessons that week.

Spellings - Each week, we focus on 10 spellings with a common theme or pattern. Children will have these in their reading journals should they wish to practise at home. They are also available on the class page.

Please do not hesitate to contact me via the Class5 email below if you have any queries or concerns.
