Kestrel

Welcome to Kestrel Class

Welcome back, I hope you’ve had a lovely half-term and are looking forward to coming back to school.

 

This half-term the children will be learning about space in science, Spanish and English. The children will be researching what it’s like to train like an astronaut and who was the first man on the moon. They will be use this information, in addition to H.G. Wells Moon Seeds, to write their own descriptive writing about what space and the environment of moon may be like if they were to travel there.

 

In maths, the children will begin the unit of multiplication and division. Focusing on factors, prime, cubed and squared numbers in addition to focusing on factors of 10.

 

In the afternoons, the children will continue with guided reading every afternoon, focusing on the book Stig of the Dump by Clive King. We will also be learning about space, our solar system and closely focusing on planet Earth.

Reminders:

• Our P.E day is on Monday, please send your child in wearing their P.E kit.

• Homework will be coming home this Friday and is due back in on Monday the 14^th of December 2020.  It is important that the children are learning and practising the Year 5/6 spelling words and also the Key Recall Facts. 

• Children need to bring in a named water bottle everyday.

• School reading books are due back every Friday.

Many Thanks
