Welcome back! We hope you had a restful break.
Our topics this term are North America/Our Changing World and Evolution.
In our English lessons, we will be doing lots of revision of spelling, grammar, and punctuation as well as developing writing. We will be looking at a range of text types such as journalistic writing, narrative, travel blogs, recounts, and biographies.
Our focus text this half term is Kidnap on the California Comet by MG Leonard & Sam Sedgman.
We will also have focused reading and grammar sessions.
In our Maths lessons, we will be working on measures, fractions, percentages and decimals, and statistics. We will be continuing to revise operations and other key skills in preparation for SATs.
This half term’s Geography topic is Our Changing World. We will explore different ways in which our world has changed and why, and the impact of humans on our planet.
In Science, we will focus on Humans and Animals, and Evolution. We will look at the circulatory system, how nutrients are transported in the body and how humans and animals have evolved over time. We will also look at drug education and mental health and wellbeing as part of our PSHE work.
This term our PE will be swimming, gymnastics, tag rugby, and hockey.
Please ensure that your child comes to school in PE kit on Mondays and Thursdays. Swimming will take place on Thursdays.
As part of our SATs revision, we have provided your child with three revision question books in maths, reading, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. We will set which pages need to be completed each week on Google Classroom where there will also be some revision information to support grammar, punctuation, and spelling. The work needs to be completed in your child’s homework book and brought to school on Mondays.
