Home Learning - Thursday 3rd April and Friday 4th April

The children will be bringing home a pack of optional activities on Tuesday to complete on Thursday and Friday whilst we are packing to move to the new school. The activities and answers can be found on the related page called Home Learning - 3rd/4th April.

Spring 2

I hope you have all had a lovely February half-term break and are raring to go for the second half of the spring term.

This half-term our topic will be all around the theme of rebellion. In history, we will be looking at Robert Kett and how he led a group of farmers to rebel against wealthy landowners in Norfolk. Our English work will be based around the story of Holes by Louis Sachar. This is a superb story and one of my personal favourites. It sees a group of boys in a detention centre rebelling against the authority of the adults. In science, we will be learning about forces and will be conducting a number of experiments to investigate a variety of forces. An overview for spring Term 2 can be found below.

Topic Homework

For those yet to hand in their homework, the deadline is Friday 28th February. I am really looking forward to seeing what amazing projects have been created!

Weekly Homework

Reading - The expectation is to read 5 times a week. Reading journals are checked every Friday. On completion of a book, if there is a quiz on Accelerated Reader pupils should complete it at home where possible. Please encourage the children to record their quiz results in their reading journals.

To take a reading quiz, please follow the link below:

Times Tables - Children should continue to practise their times tables using Times Table Rock Stars. I will continue to add optional maths homework on the class page. This will focus on an aspect of learning from the maths lessons that week.

Spellings - Each week, we focus on 10 spellings with a common theme or pattern. Children will have these in their reading journals should they wish to practise at home. They are also available on the class page.

Please do not hesitate to contact me via the Class5 email below if you have any queries or concerns.
