Curriculum

This is our final term and what an amazing term it will be. In English we will be focusing on writing instructions and creating poetry. We are looking at multiplication, division and fraction for the first time in maths.  We will be counting in 2's, 5's and 10's and grouping and sharing.  We will also be understanding wholes, halves and quarters of shapes and amounts.

In History we are looking at what makes a person a significant figure and learning about Matthew Henson, Felicity Aston, Neil Armstrong and Mae Jemison. Our Science is looking at the weather and the seasons and we are hoping to discover how much rain falls this half term.  We have set up our own weather station to help us monitor this.

We have been inspired by the Artemis II moon voyage and are designing and making moon buggies for the Artemis IV moon landing in 2 years time!  Can all children please bring in an egg box to help with this. 

Homework

All homework this year will be set on a Friday. 

Spelling - Spellings will be given on a Friday with words being tested the following Thursday.

Your child will come home with words from that week's learnt phonics sound, and new spelling given every Friday.  New words will be given as a paper copy to each child and put on the class web page. The test will be in a small book that will come home every Friday so you can see how you child has done and what still needs working on.  Please return this book with your child on Monday.
