Click here to see our Topic Web to see what we will be learning over the next two terms.
We will be reading a selection of fiction and non-fiction books. In Guided Reading we will be using 'Romans on the Rampage' by Jeremy Strong.
Some useful information about this year:
Your child will be having P.E. lessons on Monday and Wednesday in Term 1.
Homework
Homework will be given out each week on Fridays and handed in a week later. Homework will be either Topic, Maths or Literacy.
Times Tables will be practised throughout the week.
We will go through these tables, in this order:
x2 x5 x10 x3 x6 x4 x8 x7 x9 x11 x12
When they are secure in all of their times tables, they will proceed to the Division Challenge and then Fraction and Decimal Challenges.
Doodle Maths: Your child has a subscription to Doodle Maths and we recommend that they spend 10 minutes a day using Doodle Maths to develop their numeracy skills.
Home School Books: Your child will be given a home-school book at the start of Term 1, Term 3 and Term 5. They will be expected to bring these books into school everyday. Please can your child record what they have read during the week and if an adult can sign it so that they can earn points, which will go towards reading certificates and a chance to choose a new book when they have read 100 times at home. There is also a section for them to practise their multiplication tables.
Maths Frame is a fantastic free resource to help learn and practise your multiplication tables.
