Autumn Curriculum Focus:

 

English:

 This term, we will be studying character and setting descriptions. 

 

Reading Homework:

Please try to read with your child for 10 minutes every day. Short, daily reading is the best way to help your child

progress in this area. The set days to change books for children who are not on 'fluent or free reader' books will

be a Monday and Thursday in both classes.

Please note in your child's reading record when they have read to you and when the book is completed. 

Children, who are free readers, can fill in their record independently but please still try to listen to them read

regularly. 

Reading records and books should be in school bags every day.

Please take a look at these helpful questions to discuss with your child as you are reading to further their

comprehension.

Library: 

Children do not need to change their book every week if they are still reading it. If they are still reading, please

do send your child to bring in their library book every two weeks to be re-scanned. This ensures our system

doesn't generate a late notice for them. If their book(s) is/are overdue, they will not be able to borrow books.

Children can take up to two books out.

Spelling Homework:

Homework will be checked each week on a Thursday and spellings changed on a Monday for the new lists. 

Children should access Spelling Shed and complete at least 5 games per week. We will be working on our spellings daily, so practicing at home on Spelling Shed will support them further with this. 

Log ins and passwords are on the inside cover of their yellow reading diary. You will find a QR code in their reading record.

 

It will link to the spelling patterns the children are learning in class that week. This is online on Spelling Shed.

Maths 

We follow the White Rose scheme throughout school.

 

This term we will be studying place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division. 

Maths Homework

Please practise times tables using TT Rockstars.

Your child should know their 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Please support them learning these by November as we will

start learning 3, 4 and 8 times tables in December.

Children should also access Times Tables Rockstars and Numbots for at least 30 minutes per week.

Log in details are in the front of your child's reading record.

 

To access TT Rockstars, click here.        

Numbots can be accessed through the same password and supports number recognition and fluency.

 

Maths folder homework - This will be given out on a  Friday, it will focus on an element of maths taught in the past week,

please return by the following Wednesday. 

 

Science: Rocks and Soils, Forces 

 

Geography: Rivers and Mountains 

 

History:  Ancient Egypt and Cradles of Civilisation 

 

RE: Hinduism 

 

PE:  Children should come to school in their PE kits on a PE day. Children should wear their colour T-shirt of the planet group they're in with blue or black shorts and trainers. Your child can wear their school jumper or cardigan or a plain sweatshirt (no logos please).

We are looking forward to taking part in PE fundamentals, football, dance and tag rugby this term. 

 

ART/DT: Any practical art/D.T. work will be undertaken on a Monday (3HR)/Thursday (3D) afternoon. If you would like your child to wear an old t-shirt, shirt or apron to protect their clothes, please send one in to keep in their locker. Please make sure they can independently put it on and take it off. 

We will be creating a 'Fauve' portrait, watercolours and castle construction during this term. 

 

Computing: As we are working online a lot more these days, we all need to ensure that we are staying safe and understand how to do that successfully. 

Here are some useful websites and games that can help you to learn more.
