This week in Sussex 5:

Dear parents and carers,

Welcome to Term 5! Although this term is only 5 weeks long, it's going to be a busy time for all the children.

This week in English, the children were introduced to our class text: The Adventures of Odysseus. This ties in perfectly to our History topic: Ancient Greece. So far, the children have discussed their opinions and predictions about the storyline and possible characters that might appear. They also planned and written a non-chronological report about Gods and Goddesses.

In Maths, we have started our  new topic on Statistics. The children have been looking at line graphs and reading timetables as well as interpreting two-way tables. This will continue next week.

In History we will be starting our new topic on Ancient Greece. The focus this week will be on timelines and where the Ancient Greeks fit in with the rest of the world. The children will be sorting dates and making sure that they understand key terms such as; BCE, BC, era, period.

PE will be on Thursdays and Fridays this term.

Thank you and have a wonderful week.

Mrs Townshend and Ms Walker.

Spellings are set on a Wednesday for testing on the following Wednesday.

Times tables will be tested on a Friday - this week we will be testing   7x  times table and 17 x teens times table.
