Merlin
Welcome to Merlin Class
For the first three weeks of English, we are reading 'The Man Who Walks Between the Towers' by Mordicai Gerstein. By the end of the three weeks we will have created a fact file on the Twin Towers, completed some setting descriptions, planned and written a letter of advice as well as written a biography. For the final three weeks of the term we will be reading 'Robot Girl' by Malorie Blackman.
In Maths, we are looking at angles and shapes as well as position and direction on a grid focusing on co-ordinates.
Relevant My Maths homework will be set each week - so please make sure homework is completed every Friday.
In Science this term, we are looking at animals including humans. For the second week of science (week 4 of the half term) the children will be learning about reproduction in humans and what puberty is.
Our foundation subjects for this half term are as follows:
History: The Maya
PSHE: Healthy me
Music: Introducing chords
PE: Swimming and Cricket
Spanish: My home
RE: Judaism
DT: Mayan Temples
Please keep encouraging the children to keep practising their spellings- using their word lists, and reading as frequently as possible.
PE is every MONDAY so please come appropriately dressed - refer to the parent meeting powerpoint for more information.
From October children NEED to bring in coats as the weather is getting cooler and wetter.
On a Friday during lunch time both myself and Ms Edge will be holding a homework session for children who wish to join us. The session will be
10-15 minutes long and will be held in our classrooms. All are welcome to join!
