Welcome back to the Spring Term. 

Lots of new and interesting things to learn this term. 

English - We will be reading a new book 'The Darkest Dark’ as well as the famous poem ‘The Highway man.’

Science -  Learning all about Space, planets and a variety of famous scientists that have influenced what we now know.  Plus, learning about the life cycle and changes of the human body. 

Geography - Looking at how to use an ordnance survey map (Just in case the SATNAV doesn’t work). The importance of latitude and longitude and how this helps with map reading, time and climate. 

Maths -  Building on your previous knowledge of multiplication and division by applying these skills to calculate fractions, decimals and percentages (my favourite),plus reasoning and problem solving. 

Plus, many other interesting lessons and activities to keep the brains active.

As always, we ask that you encourage your child to read as much as possible at home. I will be sending home a 'Home reading book' to be read at least 3 times a week. Please ensure that you sign your child's reading record.

P.E. will be every Thursday and children must come to school wearing their kits in on this day. 

I will send home every week  (Friday due in Wednesday) relating to the work we have completed in school, sometimes this may be via Google classroom.
