This page is dedicated to all the exciting things we will be doing in class this year.
Dear Magpies,
Term 4
Dear Parents/Carers
Literacy/Topic
This term our topic is, ‘How can we protect the creatures that live in and around Ash?’ In our literacy lessons we will be reading fiction and non-fiction texts about protecting wildlife and writing our own animal poetry.
In Topic we hope to make some delicious ‘bread hogs’, make some outdoor art and explore our local area.
Maths
In Maths this term we will delve further into multiplication and division and take a closer look at measuring length and height. Please continue to use Timetables Rockstar at home. You’ll find log-in details in the front of reading records!
Science
Our science topic this term will be, ‘Animals, including humans.’ We will investigate how animals and humans grow and what we need to be healthy and survive.
We will try our best to make sure we hear your children read at least once a week.
Please do read with your child at home as often as possible, it makes such a difference and really boosts their love of books! I would also encourage you to ask your children questions about the book they have read to boost their understanding of the text. It is better that a child takes slightly longer to read a text and fully grasps its contents, than speeding through a text without having understood it.
P.E. will be taught on Tuesday and Wednesday. School uniform should be worn into school and children will get changed before their P.E lesson. Please bring P.E kit (plimsolls/trainers, shorts/tracksuits, T-shirt and jumper) to stay at school.
Spellings will be sent out on a Friday and a spelling test will be completed the following Friday.
Please do let me know if you have any queries
Miss Swain
