Important Class Information

PE Days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday: Children need to come to school wearing their PE kit.

Year 3 and 4 will be taking part in a cricket session each Tuesday so will also require PE kit on these days.

Reading Books: reading books will be changed Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please continue to listen to your child read daily, even for 10 minutes, and get your child to complete the reading task in the reading journal.

Break time snack: If you wish for your child to have a snack at break time, please provide a healthy choice of fruit or vegetables.

Lunchtimes: Children will be eating lunch in their houses (Apollo, Endeavour, Galileo and Phoenix), and houses will be rotated regularly. This provides children with the opportunity to mix with other year groups and to make new friends. 

Homework: A homework grid can be found below.

Additional information:

Please ensure that all school uniform is clearly labelled so that we can easily return misplaced items to their owner.

Children are able to access and drink water throughout the day; it is important that children bring in a refillable water bottle daily. On sunny days, a named sun-hat is important for when playing outside and participating in sports activities.  Sun cream should be applied before the start of the school day. If you would like your child to re-apply, they should do so themselves during their lunch-break. It is important that they don't share with friends to avoid allergies.  

If your child has any medical conditions, please can you ensure that a medical form has been filled out in the office and we are informed of how frequently medication/treatment is needed.  All medication should be clearly named and in date. Inhalers need to be in school so that they can be accessed at all times.

This Term’s Topic: Let there be Light

Our topic this term is based around science and the importance of light. We will be investigating where light comes from and why we need it for life on our planet. We will investigate how it can reflect off of some surfaces; investigate how shadows are formed and create a fair test; understand that the sun can be dangerous and how to be safe in the sun.

In history, we will look at religion through the years with a focus on Roman, Viking and Saxon Gods.

In art, we will studying areas of light and dark.

The key question we will be looking at in RE is to understand what it means to be a Hindu in Britain today.

We will continue with My Happy Mind in Wellbeing with this term’s focus on Engage.

In Mathematics, we will continue to focus on fractions, decimals, money, measure – length, mass and capacity.

In Computing, the children will understand using data from spreadsheets; they will be collecting data and input into Excel; create simple charts and answer questions about data.

In English, we will be exploring poetry and then be creating character descriptions.

Times Tables Rockstars: Regular practise of TTRS will help pupils to retain knowledge that they can utilise facts in other mathematical learning. All pupils should have their login details and can play on phones or tablets!

Times Tables: It is important all pupils learn their timetables up to the 12 times table and know these by the end of year 4.  On Times Tables Rockstars, pupils can play 'Sound Check,' an MTC simulator that presents 25 multiplication questions (up to 12×12), with a six-second time limit for each question.
