I liked it because it was nice and Christmassy.

Culture, can relate to any tradition or custom your family follow.  This could include clubs your child attends, such as Guiding or Scouts.

This Half Term in PE we have WFC teaching.  Please ensure your child attends school in their PE kit on a Wednesday. This should include a tracksuit top and bottom as PE will be outside.  If your child has pierced ears, they must either bring tape to cover their earrings, remove them for PE or not wear earrings on a Wednesday.

Over the next few weeks in English, we will be using Black Dog by Levi Pinfold as inspiration for our writing.  This week we are continuing to focus on how to write speech in our writing, predicting and spelling contracted words and learning about the prefixes ‘super’ and ‘auto’. For Guided Reading we are reading Chapter 2 of the book Conker by Michael Morpurgo.

In Maths, we are continuing to develop our knowledge about Place Value in numbers up to 1,000.  Don’t forget to visit the Mathletics website for practise on the current Maths topic. Our weekly times table test is on a Monday.  Remember to logon to TTRockstars to practice times tables. If you prefer, there is a nifty App for mobile phones which can be downloaded.  Currently all children have access to their 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

If you have forgotten your children’s logins, you can find them in the back of their Home Learning books.

In PSHE we are starting our learning about Being Me and for Geography we are starting to learn map reading skills. Whilst in DT we are thinking about Lunch on the Go. For Science we are starting our topic on Electricity and in RE we are thinking about what we already know about Christians and Muslims.
