In this term, we will be reading ‘Cogheart’ by Peter Bunzl - an exciting story about mayhem, murder and mystery which meet in a gripping Victorian world of fantastical imagination.
In Maths, we will be finishing our fractions and percentages module and then we will be moving on to learning more about measurement and geometry. Please keep practising your times tables as it will help greatly.
In Geography we will be starting a new topic on changing climates. Our new history topic is taking us across the Atlantic ocean and into Central America. We will be learning about the Mayans. In Science, we will be investigating lifecycles in our Living Things and Humans and Animals topics. Our Art Topic involves looking at architecture as inspiration for our own artwork. We will also be designing and making aprons in DT.
In PE, we will be working on our fitness levels in track athletics as well as practising key skills for field events. We will also be developing our striking and fielding skills in hockey and cricket. As usual please come in the full school PE kit on your PE day. PE days are Tuesday and Thursday for the Hawks and Wednesday and Thursday for the Eagles.
Homework will continue to be set (and due in) on a Friday. This will be a page from the Maths homework books and weekly spellings to practice ready for a mini test. In addition, children can always practise their personal spellings, go on Times Tables Rockstars and practise mathematics skills on a programme called My Maths.
We can’t wait for a term of exciting activities – including: a day with Adam Pepper, an RE trip, Enterprise, Sports Day, and much more!
