English

In English this week, we’ve created a biography of our main character, Gunnar, detailing his eventful life so far. The children have been working hard to use a range of sentence starters in their work.

Next week, we will finish reading our text, Viking Boy, and create non-fiction informative texts about Viking longships.  

Maths

In maths, we’ve been tackling multiplying fractions, first by an integer and then by another fraction using a range of visual representations.

Next week, we’ll be applying our fraction knowledge to a range of problems and puzzles.

 

Thematic Curriculum

 

This week, the children have worked with a partner to research a range of countries to decided whether they are developed or developing.  

Next week, our lessons will have a R.E focus as we explore Hinduism.

Two excellent pieces of homework from this term…

 

Homework

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

- Children should be playing TTRS at least 3 times a week to build their confidence and fluency with times table knowledge.

- Children have taken their Term 2 AR Star Reader assessment and their ZPD can be found on their AR account. They will also receive a sticker next week 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.
