Upcoming Reading Engage Session

You are warmly invited to join your child in class to read on Thursday 30^th January at 2:40pm.  

English

In English, this week we wrote a diary entry from the perspective of Mina, detailing Skellig’s move from the garage to safety.

Next week, we will craft narratives inspired by the book.

Maths

This week we have applied our knowledge of decimals to a range of contexts including money and mass problems.  

Next week, we’ll look at a range of area and perimeter questions.    

Thematic Curriculum

This week we have learnt all about the importance of a balanced diet and exercise. We planned and undertook investigations to find which exercise has the most impact on your heart rate.

Next week, we will explore seasonal foods and celebrate Chinese New Year!

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.

- Most children have now taken their Term 3 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.

- Mathletics homework has also been set for the children to complete by next Friday.
