Reading

We ask the children to read as much as possible as there are huge benefits to this within all areas of the curriculum. Children can bring their book back into school any day and they are able to change them independently. Could you please encourage your children to read as much as possible and record this in their reading record.

TT Rockstars

Please encourage your child to access their TT Rockstars account and complete tasks and challenges on the website to practice their times tables.

English

This week, we have continued our work based on The Explorer by Katherine Rundell. The children have been busy creating non‑chronological reports about an animal of their choice that lives in the Amazon rainforest. They have thoroughly enjoyed researching fascinating facts and presenting their findings in a clear and engaging way.

Maths

In Maths this week, we have continued our focus on multiplication. The children have been multiplying 2‑digit by 2‑digit numbers, as well as 3‑digit by 2‑digit numbers. They have been able to choose the method that works best for them, comparing both the grid method and column multiplication. The children have shown fantastic resilience and determination throughout this unit—well done!

Geography

In Geography, we have continued learning about the states of Alaska and Florida. We explored where each state is located within America and examined their contrasting climates and landscapes. The children have really enjoyed discovering how different these two places are.
