Welcome back to Autumn 2 Term 2024.

We are excited to start this new term with you. As the weather gets colder and the nights draw in, we hope to bring you more exciting challenges and adventures inside and outside the classroom.

In our English lessons, we will begin by exploring two whale watchers as they try to find an elusive whale.  This beautifully illistrated book, text will spark imagination and curiosity.

We will also have weekly spelling, punctuation, and grammar tests and handwriting practice every Friday. New spellings will also be given on Fridays.

Homework will be assigned on Tuesdays and due the following Monday. We strongly recommend that your child practices their times tables on Times Table Rockstars daily to improve their fluency and understanding.

Reading is fundamental for education, and we encourage our pupils to read daily at home for at least five minutes. We believe that daily reading can greatly impact a child's academic achievements. Keeping a record of each reading session in the Home School Journal and bringing it to school daily will help your child track their progress.

Power Maths is now fully integrated into our curriculum, helping children to develop fluency and deep conceptual understanding. We will continue to have weekly arithmetic tests every Monday, and their progress will be recorded in their Home School Journals.

There will be additional times tables tests every Friday. These tests will help your child improve their mental arithmetic ability, which is essential for mathematical problem-solving.

In our wider curriculum subjects, we will start by thinking about what Christians beleive about the Holy Trinirt in our RE lessons. In History, we will go back in time to explore Roman Britain.  We will look at how vast The Roman Empire was at its peak, the vast differences between Roman and Celt soldiers and explore Roman artitexture, even having a go at designing our own Roman town.  In Science, we will look at 'light and shadows.'

In Computing, we will be looking at 

In French, we will be focusing on greetings and how to introduce ourselves.  In PHSCE our topic will be ‘Families and Relationships’.  We will enjoy our weekly Music lessons with Mr Kitcher each Thursday.

We hope that these exciting topics will help our pupils develop their creative skills and continue to broaden their horizons.
