Welcome to an exciting new year in Hawk Class!

Our first Literacy text this year is the tale of Major Glad, Major Dizzy, a wonderful text inspired by true events. This is a beautifully illustrated story that takes us through over 100 years in the life of two victorian toy soldiers who get lost down the floorboards and uncover a world of adventures.

Our weekly spelling tests will take place each Friday. New spellings will also be given on Fridays. Homework will also continue to be assigned on Fridays and collected the same day the following week.

Reading and Phonics underpins all education and as such pupils are encouraged to read at home and practise their phonics sounds for at least five minutes every day. A record of this should then be made by a parent/carer in the Home School Journal. Please do not worry about leaving a long comment, we know this can become time-consuming. A simple signature is a great way to show that you are engaging with your child's at home learning. Please ensure your child’s journal is bought to school each day.

Power Maths is now fully integrated into our curriculum, helping children to develop fluency and deep conceptual understanding. Our weekly arithmetic tests will continue every Friday, and their progress will be recorded in their Home School Journals. The maths concepts we will be covering in Autumn Term are listed below.
