Yorkshire

A typical week in Yorkshire:

This week in Yorkshire 5 

Week beginning Monday 15th April

This week in English, we have started our new book which has sparked some excitement in the class. The book is focused around Greek Gods and Goddesses with various powers and mythical stories associated with them. The children have conducted research into Gods and Goddesses of their choice to produce a fact file full of exciting information. The use of subheadings has allowed them to clearly present their facts.

In maths we are approaching the end of our statistics unit and will shortly be moving on to shape. The class have built their confidence in reading, interpreting and drawing graphs and tables.

We will be starting a new history topic on Ancient Greeks (linking to our English book) which the children seem to be looking forward to. In science, we will be looking at properties of different materials which will lead to some experiments later in the term.

PE lessons this term are an opportunity for the children to practise various sports day activities, bringing out the competitive sides of a few students!

It has been a lovely first week back with lots of smiling faces and enthusiastic answers and I look forward to the rest of the term.

Home Learning

Home learning and spellings will be set each week on a Thursday and will be due in the following Tuesday. 

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.

Spellings will be tested on Wednesdays. 

Please note that Mrs Shrimpton's group now has a blue and purple group. This relates to the colour of the book that they are working on in class.

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.
