Welcome back Moles. I hope you have had a wonderful Easter break and done some exciting and fun things with your families, I'm looking forward to you hearing all about what you have been up to.

Hopefully this half term we are going to be able to explore and learn more outside as the weather gets warmer.

In English we will be starting with the story 'Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish' by Michael Foreman  to support our learning. The children will be thinking about the events of the story, thinking about the characters and focusing on their feelings. We will be focusing on writing sentences with the correct punctuation and including a range of adjectives to add details. They will also be using their phonics learning to help them with the spelling of key words and to build a bank of words that they can write correctly in all their work.

In Maths we are building on our learning of last half term and using the skills they have acquired to help them solve multiplication and division questions. They will be working on using their times tables, especially the 2s, 5s and 10s. This work will also support them through the half term as we then move on to look at fractions.

In the afternoons we will be finding out more about our local area in History and this will include learning about the Royal Military Academy, Wellington College and our school.

In Science we will be looking at plants. We will be visiting the school grounds to look at the plants and trees in our own environment as well as understanding what plants need to grow and the steps that make up the life cycle of most plants.

Our DT and PSHE learning will link together nicely as we we learn about how to keep ourselves healthy, what makes a healthy snack and then creating our own snacks.

If you would like some suggestions for places to find information for the children's homework then please look at the links listed below.

If you have any questions please find me in the playground at the start or end of the day.

General reminders:

We are back to having our PE lessons on Friday afternoons. We will also be visiting the Library on Friday's and the children need to bring their library books in then so that they can choose a new book.

Please bring reading books to school every day - we will normally change them on a Monday.

Also, please make sure your children's jumpers are clearly labelled and that they have a named water bottle in school everyday.
