Yorkshire

Dear Children 

Teachers have chosen a theme from your key text for Term 1 for you to explore over the summer. This is an opportunity for you to be creative and widen your knowledge about our wonderful world so you can use your new knowledge throughout Term 1 to support yours and your classmates learning. Your task is to create a knowledge organiser to use in class. Think about the learning you did in class around using pictures and words to help us remember information. If you want to create anything in addition to your knowledge organiser, or bring photos, artwork etc. which link to your theme, your new teachers would be delighted! We will be using and displaying your work throughout the term.

Please bring your learning into school on Tuesday 3rd September to share with your new teacher and classmates.

A typical week in Yorkshire:

This week in Yorkshire 5 

Week beginning Monday 15th July

The term is suddenly flying by and the children are starting to count down the days until summer. Lessons persist though and there is still lots of learning being completed across the curriculum. 

In English, we have almost reached the conclusion of our book and the children are excited to know whether Pax and Peter will finally be reunited.

In Maths, we have been learning about the volume of objects, using cubes to support our learning.

In science, we will be looking at irreversible reactions and the signs that tell us these cannot be reversed.

In History, we are wrapping up our research on ancient Greece by looking at Alexander the Great and his accomplishments.

Home Learning

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

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.
