English

In English we will be doing some writing linked to World War 2 discussing whether children should have been evacuated and writing stories set during this time.

Maths

In maths we will be revising converting different units of measure and then moving on to fractions, decimals and percentages.

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 light in science.

PE

Crimson Class have PE every Tuesday & Friday

Magenta Class have PE every Wednesday & 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 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 Boom Reader

Children need to learn their spellings each week.

Children will be given maths homework every Friday and this is due in the following Wednesday.

• Children need to complete 21 minutes of TT Rockstars by every Monday

Thank you for your support with your child’s learning.
