Welcome to the Puffins class.

Welcome back - we hope that you have had a lovely holiday and are looking forward to the summer term!

This term in English and Guided Reading, we will focus the texts Romeo and Juliet, Viking Tales: The sword of the Viking King by Terry Deary  and Arthur and the Golden Rope. Through History, we will researching who the Vikings were and how they were successful.    In Maths we will be focusing on money, shape, time and statistics.  In Geography, we will be continuing our studies in explaining  what makes an effective settlement.  We will investigate forces and magnets in Science and Art.  Please see our overview document for more details about what we will be learning in all of our curriculum subjects. 

PE days this term are every Tuesday and Wednesday; children will be taking part in netball and kwik cricket activities.   Please can children arrive at school wearing their PE kit (a black jumper or school jumper, academy PE t-shirt or a plain white t-shirt and black leggings/joggers or shorts).  If your child has an after-school sports club,  please can they arrive in PE kit that day. A reminder that earrings need to be removed on these days please.   

Learning at Home:  Children will learn their spellings in preparation for weekly checks.   Maths homework will continue to be multiplication tables using https://urbrainy.com/mtc and TTRS as well as support with telling the time; thank you for your support with this.  Daily reading at home for pleasure will significantly benefit your child; this can be any text by different authors, as well as newspapers and magazines.  Books can be taken home from school and returned when they are completed.  

Thank you for your continued support with your child’s learning; it is much appreciated.
