Term 3

Dear Parents,

 

Welcome to Term 3, I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and New Year and I would like to thank you all very much for your very generous gifts and kind messages that you sent me.

 

We have introduced our new topic which is ‘Anglo Saxons – Invaders and Settlers’.  In our history lessons we will be refreshing and expanding our timeline skills, looking at who invaded England and in turn finding out our heritage and how people lived back in Anglo Saxon times.

 

In Maths we will be looking at mental and written strategies for multiplication and division before moving onto Area and then looking at money and calculating with it. Please encourage the children to consistently practice their times tables on TT Rockstars, 10 minutes a day is far more effective than an hour once a week.

 

In Literacy we will be starting to read a very famous story ‘Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp’ next week.  We will also be exploring Valerie Bloom’s poetry, in particular ‘The River’, and starting to create our own poems by using this as a stimulus.

 

The PE curriculum for this term will be learning about Gymnastics on Monday and Hockey on a Friday.  For the hockey, we are hoping to be outside and using the proper wooden sticks as much as possible and so if your child has their own pair of shin pads they would like to use, they should make sure they are in school for the Friday lesson.  All children have been asked to bring in longer socks as well in order to support the school shin pads as they are strapless.  Just a reminder as well that tracksuits and trainers are allowed for out door PE this term due to the temperature and weather however white t-shirts and navy-blue shorts are still required to take part in the Gymnastics lesson on Mondays.

 

In Science we will be looking at sound and this will tie in brilliantly with our computing unit which is using computers to make music.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if any concerns or queries arise throughout the year, if you need to speak to me face to face this can currently be arranged through the office. I do also appreciate however that with work and other commitments this might not be possible so have included my email below.
