Maths

Our Maths learning this week has been focusing on multiplication and division and representing our calculations using arrays and bar models. 

Next week we will continue to look at multiplication and division.

 

Thematic

In our thematic learning this week we have been learning about food groups and how to eat a balanced diet. The children have also been sorting animals based on their diet under the categories 'carnivore, herbivore and omnivore'. 

Next week we are going to be learning about the bones and muscles in our bodies.

 

Homework

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

- Children have now been given their log-in details for Times Table Rock Stars. They should be playing this at least 3 times a week to build their confidence and fluency with times table knowledge.

- Children have been given a ZPD 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.

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

- Please see the homework menu attached for our thematic homework.

 

We hope that you have a lovely weekend and are looking forward to seeing you all next week!
