Term 5 Week 2

WB: 27/4/26

We have all enjoyed seeing the sun this week! Please remember that any sun cream needed should be applied at home before coming to school. If you are sending your child with a sun hat please ensure that it is clearly named.

This week we have enjoyed a grammar focus in English to help us to structure our sentences well and to including interesting vocabulary. This has been very successful in supporting the children to produce some super writing!

The children have embraced our History topic with enthusiasm as we begin to explore daily life in Roman Britain. They have especially enjoyed finding out about the Coliseum and Chariot races, Gladiator challenges and more. 

In maths this week we continue to explore fractions. We are learning about non unit fractions this week ( any fraction with a numerator of more than one on the top), which can be a challenging concept to grasp. Any support you can give with this at home will benefit your children greatly.

Please see the home learning page on the website for details of this week's home learning and spelling tasks.

Please continue to support your child with regular reading at home and by updating their Boom Reader account whenever possible. Your support makes a real difference to their confidence and progress. Please also ensure your child brings their reading book into school every day. Please also follow this link https://global-zone61.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/6704864

 to access quizzes when your child finishes a book. They will know their login details for this. 

We are continuing to learn our times tables with some fun songs! Practising for just 15 minutes a week on the recommended website will make a huge difference in building strong multiplication and division skills, which are essential throughout Key Stage 2 and beyond. We have been learning our nine timetables - here is our new song for you to practise at home -
