Topics that we will be covering across the half-term
We will be learning about World War II in history; doing ration cooking and creating shelters in DT; and learning about light in science.
History – we will be learning about World War II
Science – we will be learning about light
DT – we will be doing ration cooking and creating shelters
PE
Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday.
Please ensure children have the correct kit in school for when they need it.
Homework
As we are preparing the children for their end of primary school assessments and their transition to high school, we do have slightly higher homework expectations than they may have experienced before. We will check this every week and any homework not completed will be completed during breaks and lunchtimes at school with support from staff.
We will offer lunchtime clubs for children to stay in to complete any of their homework if they choose to.
This is the homework children will be expected to do:
- Children need to read at home at least 3 times per week and log this on BoomReader.
- Children need to learn their spellings each week for the test on Friday.
- Children get maths homework on Fridays and this is due the following Wednesday.
- Children need to complete 21 minutes of TT Rockstars by Monday of each week.
