Weekly Blog

Welcome back! We hope you had an enjoyable Christmas break. This week we have begun new topics across the curriculum. In maths, we have started the multiplication and division unit, focusing on multiplying a 2-digit number by a 2, 3, and 4-digit number. In English, our focus for this half-term is poetry, using the poem 'The Malfeasance' by Alan Bold, as our model text. At the end of the sequence, we will be creating our own poems, following the same rhyming structure. Elsewhere, we have begun Hinduism in RE, Ancient Maya in History, Tag Rugby in PE, and Pets in Spanish.

Key information

PE will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please come into school wearing your PE kit on these days. Please note the Tuesday PE slot will be swimming.

Homework and reading books will be sent home on a Friday and must be returned on Wednesday. Reading records need to be filled in at least three times a week and signed by an adult at home and brought into school on Fridays for us to check.

Please remember to send your child in with a water bottle and a healthy snack.
