Our Spring 1 topic is:

Fire and Earth

We will be enjoying a variety of texts about dragons, including 'The Egg' by M.P. Robertson, which will inspire our instruction writing.  Our wider curriculum learning will be based on rocks, fossils and mountains. Please see the 'Files' section below for further information.    

General Information

PE

PE lessons this half term will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

To avoid bringing lots of things to and from school, we ask that on PE days, children come to school dressed in their PE kit.

Please ensure that long hair is tied back and that earrings are removed or covered.

Reading

Reading books and diaries should be sent into school every day.   Please sign your child's reading record when you listen to them read.  We expect at least 2 reads at home per week to be recorded. Your child can change their reading book on any day.  

Book bags

Please ensure the only things the bag contains are lunch/snack, water bottles and reading books/reading records.

Homework

There will be a piece of written English and Maths set each week.   It will be set on a Wednesday to be completed by the following Monday. 

Online homework tasks:

                                     TT Rockstars (2x5 mins)

                                     Spelling Shed (2 games) 

Every week, we will award Praise Points for completing this homework.

Should your child complete the Maths homework quickly, these are a few websites, with great games for further practice:
