Welcome to Otter class! 

I hope you had a great half-term and are ready to learn more on our way to Christmas.

In English, we are finishing making a tourist leaflet based on the book 'The baker by the sea' by Paula White. After that, we will be reading the book 'Granny came here on the Empire Windrush'. Ava learns about her grandmother's journey from Trinidad to England on the Empire Windrush, sharing her story through items from the voyage. Our final text will be 'Frindleswylde' which is a fairy tale narrative. Cora follows Frindleswylde into a wintry world after he snuffs out her light, and joins him in his kingdom of ice, where there are no feelings.

In Maths, we will be focusing on multiplication and division all the way up to Christmas. By the Christmas holidays, the children will have been taught all times tables up to 12x12. Please practice these at home. The order will be: revise 3s, then do 6s, then 9s, then 7s, then 11s and then 12s.

In RE, we will be delving into Christianity and the global church. In Science, we will be looking at sound. Maybe at home you could look at different items that create sound and how they make their sounds. In History, we will be learning about the Romans, their empire and when they invaded Britain.

PE is on Tuesdays. Please ensure you come dressed in the correct PE uniform: black trousers/shorts, white top, black hoody and black trainers. No jewellery and long hair tied up. Our library session is on a Tuesday as well. 

Please complete homework and reading. Make sure to bring in your reading record every day.

There will be a weekly spelling quiz, please assist your children in studying for this.  Don't forget spellings and Mymaths homework will set every Friday.

Please ensure that your child is:

• Reading at least three times a week
• Completing their Mymaths homework
• Practising times tables daily
• Visiting Rockstars at least twice a week
• Practising Year 3/4 spelling words
• Learning and practising the Autumn 2 KIRFs

Any questions, please contact the office.

Many thanks,

Mrs Pain
