1st Half Spring Term
During literacy we will be exploring the world of Barrowquest and writing our very own adventure, quest story. Focus will continue to be on improving reading fluency and speed, so thank you for continuing to encourage your child to read at home and listening to them. During history, we will be learning about The Victorians. In Maths, our focus will be decimals, percentages, and Algebra. Children will recognise the equivalence between Fractions, Decimals and Percentages and apply this knowledge to problem solving. All children will be expected to now have a rapid recall of their times tables up to 12 x 12. In Science, we will be learning be studying All Living Things, and learning how to classify species and use branching diagrams.
Our focus authors this term will be Michael Morpurgo and Rick Riordan; children will be encouraged to read books by these authors, and it would be useful if they were to use the library to borrow their books.
Outdoor P.E will be Hockey on a Thursday. On a Monday, during indoor P.E all children will be practising their Dodgeball and Gymnastic skills.
Finally, attendance is even more crucial than normal, as we will be preparing the children to take their SATs. If you have any questions on how to support your child, please speak to their class teacher.

All children will be expected to now have a rapid recall of their times tables up to 12 x 12. In science we will be learning about electricity and how to build a circuit as well as how to draw these circuits using the universal symbols for components. This will link with our learning in Geography - Where does our energy come from?
