This half term we willing be practising our additoin and subtraction skill in Maths, we'll be writing exploring fantasy settings in our English lessons and we'll be exploring different habitats in Science wit a focus on the River Bollin in Geography.

The School Day

Soft opening 8:40-8:50 and the school day ends at 3:20.  

Reading 

Please encourage your child to read at home with an adult at least three times per week. Reading diaries will be monitored weekly. 

Music 

Children will be learning to play a brass instrument this year - our music day will be Monday. 

PE 

Thursday and Friday are our PE days this half term, children should come to school in the Hollinhey PE kits on these days.

Homework 

Your child will receive two pieces of paper-based homework each week (Spellings & Maths). This will be sent out on a Wednesday to be returned on Monday. Please don't leave it until Sunday night to complete these tasks - the earlier your child looks at it, the more relaxed a process it becomes!

Children are expected to complete:

3 x assignments on Spelling Shed (or IDL if appropriate)

3 x 5 minutes times tables practice on TT Rockstars.

Equipment 

Pupils need to bring in a water bottle, a snack (and packed lunch, if desired) each day. All children will be provided with their own school equipment so there is no need to send in pencil cases etc.
