Your child has taken home a homework sheet to cover the homework for the whole half term. Please choose  another activity to complete for homework this week. We have had some fantastic work so far! I have attached an electronic copy of the homework below in case the paper copy is lost  Homework-Egyptians

In English, we will be continuing to work on our new story Jimmy and the Pharaoh and begin to look at and write our own playscripts.

In Maths, we will be moving on to a unit of work on Geometry, covering properties of shapes and position and direction, plotting of coordinates and simple translation of position.

We have also started to use a mental Maths game called Daily 10 which you can find a link to below

I have also asked those children who are less confident to continue to practise time (including digital, analogue and 24 hour time) and money, including coin recognition, for when we revisit these units.

P.E will continue to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, please ensure your child has their kit for every lesson. In addition to this we will continue to run the Daily Mile to help promote the fitness of our children.

As I’m sure you all know, reading daily is essential in helping your child progress with reading and writing. Please enjoy reading a range of fun books as well as your child’s school reading books to promote a love for reading. Please remember to write a comment or sign your child’s reading record regularly. Remember that your child can keep a book for as long as they need in order to finish it. We appreciate your support to enable your child to be a fluent and competent reader.

In Science, children are enjoying a unit on Electricity with Mrs Grundey.

In RE- the children are learning about Judaism.

Successes- Well done to William, Kiki, Erin, Kendra and Malachi who all achieved merits this week.

Additional information- A big well done to Erin and Kendra for representing the school at Croydon Athletics. We are extremely proud of you!

In English, we will continue developing our narrative writing with a short film called Origins; The Story of a Lone Robot in order to develop show not tell methods of writing.We have nearly finished the alternate ending and we will then be moving on to some work on playscripts.

In Maths, we will be continuing to look at formal written methods for multiplication and division, so it would be helpful for children to continue to practise their multiplication tables and related division facts. Please encourage your child to use Mathletics to revise these skills.
