Homework - Times Tables, Reading and Spellings
Please try to practise your spellings and times tables every day. Spellings will be given out each half term and are tested a Friday. 

You should aim to read every night - even if it is just for 5 minutes - but the minimum is three per week. Please remember to get your reading record signed by an adult but feel free to add a comment in yourself. Reading records will be checked every Friday. You are responsibile for changing your own reading book. 

Maths and English homework will be set weekly. 

PE

Our PE lessons will be on Thursday with PDS. Please come into school on a Thursday in your PE kit. Don't forget to remove/cover any jewellery (including watches and earrings) and make sure your hair is tied up if it is long. You can bring in a roll-on deodorant only. 

Swimming lessons will take place on a Thursday for 10 weeks. A letter will be sent home when the lessons are due to start. A reminder that no jewellery (including earrings) are permitted. Swimming caps can be bought from the school office for £2. 

Autumn Term 

In English, we will be reading the story of Rose Blanche and completing writing based on this. In maths, we will be focusing on place value and number, the four operations and fractions. In science, we are learning about animals, including humans, and living things and their habitats. As part of our art curriculum, we are exploring the unit 'illusions' and in DT we will be making bread. Our unit in history is World War 2 and we will be completing some writing work based on the story of Rose Blanche alongside this. In our RE units, we will be exploring Islam and Christianity in more depth, whilst reflecting on our half-termly values of respect (Autumn 1) and thankfulness (Autumn 2).
