Welcome back to school!! I hope you all had an amazing summer break and have come back rejuvenated. We are so excited to begin another year of learning, exploring and growing together. We have lots of exciting topics, activities and experiences planned, and we can't wait to see what we can achieve together.

In English, our writing this term will be inspired by two texts: Robot Girl by Malorie Blackman and The Man who walked between the towers by Mordicai Gerstein. The twist in Robot Girl is sure to be an interesting way to start the year. We will use these texts to write a science-fiction narrative and a biography.

In Maths, we will be working on place value and numbers to 100,000, then we will be adding and subtracting in the same number range. Please ensure that you are doing your My Maths homework once it is set, as this will help consolidate the learning that we do in class.

This term in Science, we will be looking at mixtures and separations. We will do lots of different experiments which are sure to be a highlight of the term.

In History, we will look at The Vikings. This topic is interesting: we will be asking: Were the Vikings raiders, traders or something else?

Information for Parents:

Spellings: Spelling words will be sent out every Friday in the small yellow spelling books. Please ensure that the books are returned latest by following Friday as the test will be done in the same book. Please encourage the children to practise their spellings using their word lists.

Reading: Please continue to read with your child at least twice a week. Sign their reading record so that I can move them on as often as possible.

MyMaths homework is also set every Friday and is due the following Friday. This consolidates what they are learning in class and is a valuable learning tool.

PE is scheduled for every Monday, so children should come dressed appropriately.

Children are recommended to have applied sun cream before school as the weather continues to be warm.

Please feel free to contact me for any clarifications.

Here's to a brilliant year ahead! 🚀📚✨
