Topic - Time Traveller!
In this topic, pupils will be encouraged to think imaginatively about time and possibility through our class novel, A Wrinkle in Time, which explores the idea of time bending and folding. We will explore how we can use dialogue to enhance a story and we will be creating a poem based on changes over time. Alongside this, science learning will focus on the properties of materials, exploring characteristics such as strength, flexibility, transparency, and suitability for different purposes, and investigating why particular materials are used for specific objects in everyday life. In mathematics, children will develop fluency and problem-solving skills by focusing on multiplication and division, as well as exploring fractions, learning how numbers can be grouped, shared, and represented in different ways.
PE
PE is every Monday and Thursday during this half term. Children can wear their PE kits on PE days to reduce congestion and close proximity in the areas used for changing. If possible, please don't let children wear earrings on PE days.
Home Learning
Reading
We ask that children read at home regularly at home. Children can read independently, to an adult, or to a sibling. Please ensure reading diaries are signed at least two times a week.
Maths/English
Children need to be practising times tables regularly at home, they can use TT Rockstars to help. Children also need to be using Bedrock at home to help with their grammar. Additional homework may also be set on Seesaw.
Spellings
Children will be given spellings every Tuesday for a spelling test on Friday. The weekly spellings are also posted on Seesaw. Please ensure children are practising their spellings at home during the week.
