Term 6 Week 4

WB: 22.06.26

Thank you all for your continued support in helping us keep the children comfortable during this week's warm weather. We have a fan in the classroom and are encouraging the children to stay well hydrated, spend time indoors during the hottest parts of the day, and take regular breaks in the shade whenever possible. Summer has certainly arrived!

In Maths this week, we have continued our learning about time, exploring days, weeks, months and years. The children have enjoyed learning how calendars work and developing their understanding of different units of time through a range of problem-solving activities.

In English, we are continuing to enjoy The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. This week, we explored how Edward's character changes as he reflects on his behaviour and experiences. This led to some thoughtful and insightful discussions about the importance of reflecting on our own actions.

In History, we have continued our study of the Romans, focusing on the inventions and innovations they introduced that still influence our lives today. The home learning completed by many children a few weeks ago provided an excellent foundation for some engaging discussions about the lasting impact of Roman civilisation and, indeed, "what the Romans did for us."

Thank you for ensuring that children come to school each day with a named water bottle and hat, and for applying sun cream before school. A gentle reminder to please ensure that all items brought into school are clearly named.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

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 practising our 11 times table. This song is a bit fast and has some tricky, tongue-twisting parts, but the children are really enjoying it and having fun while learning -
