English

In English, this week we finished writing our narratives based on our text, Skellig and explore the poem ‘The Angel’ by William Blake.

Next week, we will compose our own poetry inspired by both Skellig and William Blake’s work.

Maths

This week we have practised finding missing lengths and the area of composite rectilinear shapes.

We also spent Friday morning celebrating Number Day with a range of engaging number-themed activities, including designing our own zoos.  

Next week, we will continue our work on decimals and measures.

Thematic Curriculum

This week we visited RHA to cook our own vegetable-based Bolognese sauce. The children’s behaviour was exemplary; they were so engaged with such a hands-on experience. They practised safe knife skills, used the hob and even washed up!

 

 

Next week we will turn our focus to R.E and learn about the Buddhist faith.

Homework

- Please read with your child at least 3 times a week.

- Children should be playing TTRS at least 3 times a week to build their confidence and fluency with times table knowledge.

- Most children have now taken their Term 3 AR Star Reader assessment and their ZPD can be found on their AR account. They will also receive a sticker next week to help them identify the correct books for their reading level. Once your child has read their book, they will need to complete a quiz on it before getting a new one. These quizzes can be done either in school or at home on Accelerated Reader using the log-in codes found in their reading records.

- Mathletics homework has also been set for the children to complete by next Friday.
