Weekly Blog-25.03.26

And just like that, we are at the end of our second term! Where has the time gone? We have done so much this half-term, from sporting tournaments to a World Book Day bonanza, from temperate experience days in Antarctica to being interviewed by a police officer. We very much look forward to next half-term!

Upon our return from the Easter break, we will be concluding our statistics unit in maths, before beginning shape. In English, we will be beginning a new unit, focusing on a non-fiction text, the name of which will be revealed soon. In guided reading, The Explorer will conclude within the first few weeks of our return (we will miss it!). In Science, we will be looking at living things and their habitats. Elsewhere, history will cover Ancient Greece, music will teach composition, our focus in PE will be dance, Spanish will be all about home, computing will return with programming, RE will look at Sikhism, and a focus on economic wellbeing in RSE.

Weekly Spellings

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

Key information

PE will take place on Monday and Wednesday. Please come into school wearing your PE kit on these days.

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.

This is where you can find extra work to support what we are learning in class.
