Buzzard

Welcome to Buzzard class!

Welcome back from the lovely Easter. I hope you all enjoyed the weather!

In English, we will be reading 'Grimm fairy tales' retold by Phillip Pullman. Think about the wonderful fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, but with the real ending! Then after that we will be reading 'The Unforgotten Coat' by Frank Cottrell-Boyce which is the story of two immigrant children who end up in a primary school in Liverpool and the friendships they form.

In Maths, we will consolidate our learning up to SATs. After SATs, we will go over any concepts the children still struggle with and do some Maths projects linked to real-life contexts such as mortgages, taxes and salaries.

In Guided reading, we are reading 'The Explorer' about a group of children that crash-land in the Amazon rainforest and how they survive/try to leave it.

In History, we will be looking at the Shang Dynasty of China. This area of history was only recently discovered and has some fascinating artefacts and elements.

Our Science topic is Light and Shadow which will build on their knowledge from Year 3.

Our PE and library slots are on a Wednesday afternoon - (black trousers/shorts and a white top please). Please leave jewellery at home where possible.

Please remember to bring in your reading record each day as we do lots of reading!

Any questions, please contact the office and they will contact me.

Many thanks,

Mrs Pain and Mr. Price
