Welcome back to the Summer term. Hopefully the sun will start to shine soon and we can enjoy some outdoor learning opportunities.
We have started a new text this week - we know it's about the Ancient Greeks, to match our history topic but we don't yet know the name of the book as it's covered in brown paper! It will be revealed soon. We have been researching and writing non chronological reports about different gods and goddesses this week.
We are completing a statistics unit in maths, reading and interpreting tables and timetables and moving on to angles of shapes. Any practice the children can have reading and using a protractor at home would be really helpful in class.
Our science unit of learning this term is Properties and Changes of Materials. This links with our art lessons which Mrs Clements has asked for some materials to be brought into school.
Our PE lessons are on a Monday and Tuesday afternoons this term - athletics and rounders. Please ensure your child has their kit in school each Monday.
We are starting to think about our PGL trip next week, thinking about what we will need to take, what we're NOT allowed to take and what we might be doing during our time away. Needless to say, we're getting very excited!
Home learning and spellings will be set each week on a Thursday and will be due in the following Tuesday. We will be testing 12 tables on Wednesday 25th April
Times Tables Rockstars!
To keep practising the multiplication taught in class, and challenging yourself to keep the ones you already know fresh, don’t forget to log into your Times Tables Rockstars account.
Rapid recall of multiplication is essential for success in maths and Times Tables Rockstars gives children self-confidence, recognition and motivation to improve. Challenge yourself to beat your score, build your knowledge and watch your confidence sore, as you become a Rockstar!
Please ask your class teacher if you need replacement log in details.
The link below will take you to the spelling scheme we are working from in school.

Reading
All children have been given a new AR bookmark and know their AR bands. They have selected a book to read at home and school. Please ensure you hear your child read regularly and record on Boom Reader. I have log in reminders for the children to bring home.
Please note: pupil login details have changed slightly due to an upgrade that has taken place on the Accelerated Reader platform. Pupil login details (user name and password) should now be enter in all lower case (no capital letters at all). These login details are used each time your child quizzes a school reading book which carries an accelerated reading quiz code.
Music Knowledge Organiser
Below is the music knowledge organiser for this term's music topic. To help with their in-class learning, please can the children read over this each week.
