Please can children come into school in their PE kits on Mondays and Fridays each week. They will need a red PE top, blue tracksuit bottoms (not leggings) and trainers.

Things to do with your child

You can help ensure your child learns and practises key skills by doing the following every week:

  • reading at least 10 minutes, 5 times a week
  • practise and learn spellings
  • practise and learn times tables
  • complete and return homework tasks

We will update this list throughout the year as more appropriate tasks become relevant.

Our Spring Curriculum

 

We use ClassDojo where you can keep updated with any amazing achievements.

 

English - Our first topic will be reading the Philip Pullman Novel, The Firework-Makers Daughter and start to explore key features of novels, especially how to write speech and use correct punctuation. We will then read The Secret Seven and hone our novel writing skills further.

 

Maths – We will be following our maths scheme, Red Rose Maths, which gives children a mastery approach and teaches using equipment to understand and explore different areas.

It is very important that all children practice their times tables nightly. We will be completing daily times tables activities to support them. To encourage children to practice and learn their tables we have a reward system. On completion of each award, children will be presented with a badge.

Bronze - 2, 5, 10, 3 times tables

Silver - as bronze plus 4, 8 times tables

Gold - all facts up to 12x12

Platinum - all times tables and division facts to 12x12

 

Science – In the first half term, we will be looking at states of matter. We will be using skills of scientific testing and how we can investigate the properties of different materials.

History – We start the year by studying History and learn about crime and punishment across the ages in Britain. We will link it to our previous history topic and discuss the crimes and punishments of the weavers during the industrial revolution in Lancashire.

Geography - After half term, we will change to a Geography unit and learn about rivers of the world. We will use fieldwork to give children a practical, hands on experience of rivers.

 

Art – We will learn about Spanish artists and use collage and textiles to create our own artwork.

Computing – We will be using computing technology to learn to code events and actions. We will use the computer program Scratch to make sprites move, chose our own characters to use and test sequences that we make.

Each half term we will have a week outside of the normal lessons to learn about e-safety and how to be safe and look after each other while using the internet.

 

PE – On Tuesday PE lessons children will be outside learning tennis and increasing their skills in net games. On Friday PE lessons children will be in the hall playing benchball and working on catching and throwing skills. Please make sure that children have the correct PE uniform as described above.
