In this term, we will be reading ‘War of the World’ by H G Wells (retold by Pauline Francis) - an exciting story signalling the beginning of a Martian invasion. The Martians gradually take over London and the surrounding area causing death and destruction. It seems that no one can stop them... We are sure this book will provide lots of stimulus for some excellent writing.
In Maths, we will be finishing our fractions module and then we will be moving on to multiplication and division and converting units. Please keep practising your times tables as it will help greatly.
In Geography, we will be learning more key skills involving different types of maps, compass skills and identifying ordnance survey symbols. Our new History topic is taking us back to the history of York. If you have anything relevant from family visits that you think you would like to show to the class, please bring it in to show your teacher.
In Science, we will be investigating properties and changes of materials. This will include observing and exploring properties and changes of materials as well as carrying out lots of investigations.
In PE, we will be dusting off our dance shoes to practise footwork and coordination in dance and movement and practising our net wall and ball skills by playing badminton. As usual please come in the full school PE kit on your PE day. Miss Burton’s class will be catching up on some missed swimming sessions – more details to follow via Parenthub.
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 practice their personal spellings, go on Times Tables Rockstars and practise mathematics skills on a programme called My Maths.
We can’t wait for another fun-packed and hardworking term!
