Weekly Blog

This week we have begun our new maths topic; decimals and percentages. We have begun by looking at equivalent fractions and decimals, and next week we will begin to compare percentages with these also. In English, we are using an animation called 'The Piano' to write a short narrative before we break up for the half-term, aiming to conclude this next Friday. In guided reading, The Explorer is being thoroughly enjoyed by all, including Mr Tatham and Mrs E-P! Elsewhere, we have been ploughing through Hinduism in RE, Ancient Maya in History, Tag Rugby in PE (in preparation for a tournament), and Pets in Spanish.

Weekly Spellings

Every Friday, a spelling list compiled of 10 words will be found here.

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.
