Homework and supporting school work at home is more important than ever this year.

Our homework will focus on statutory spellings (Y3-Y6 words), reading comprehension, SPaG questions and arithmetic and problem solving skills.

Reading remains a vital element of supporting your child's learning. Please continue to encourage your child to read regularly and continue to listen to them reading and share books together.

A Few Reminders:

PE: Children have PE every Tuesday and Wednesday this half term. Children should come dressed in their PE kit on these days.

Water: Children are encouraged to bring in a bottle of water each day which they can access at any time. Please ensure your child’s name is on their bottle.

Snack: If you wish to send in a snack, please make sure it is healthy - no chocolate, crisps or sweets. We are a nut free school. Snack can also be purchased from the school kitchen using credit on your child’s dinner money account.

English

Our writing will be centred around last term's reading for pleasure book, Holes by Louis Sachar. To show our understanding of audience and purpose, we will be writing a variety of pieces, including a recipe for making Sploosh and a guide to life at Camp Green Lake.

Reading

To support our reading skills this half term, we will be using a variety of different texts, both fiction and non-fiction. Inference and summarise will be key skills we will focus on, while keeping the other skills in mind.

Maths

We will be consolidating our Maths skills in preparation for our SATs assessments and moving to high school.
