Our Learning next week

Our topic for this term is called ”Temples, Tombs and Treasures’ linked to our HISTORY curriculum about Ancient Egypt.

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 continue developing our narrative writing with our text The Firemaker’s Daughter by Phillip Pullman. Next week we will be boxing up the chapter about Lila’s meeting with Razvani the Fire Fiend, starting to create our own villain and working towards writing our own fiery scene. Please feel free to read along with your child. Copies can be bought for £3.99 at the Book People.

In Maths, we will continue working on decimals, learning how to multiply one or 2 digit numbers by 10 or 100, comparing numbers to 2 decimal places and rounding decimals and comparing and ordering decimals. Please encourage your child to use Mathletics to revise these skills along with games on free websites like

In P.E sessions, we will be starting athletics and a dance/aerobics unit. 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.

Well done to all children who were awarded a merit card this week, Kimi, Eddie and Gabby M!

In other news, Mrs Adams will no longer be covering Millennium class during my planning time out of class. As of Tuesday, Mrs Grundy will be covering the class once a week. We of course wish to send Mrs Adams off to maternity leave with all our support and best wishes!
