Topic

This term we are learning about the Awesome Egyptians! The children will gain an understanding of this early civilization: how they lived; the social hierarchy; the importance of the afterlife; how they communicated. They will also look into the geography of the region and why this civilization has been so important to world history.

PE 

PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays this term. On Tuesday, we will be doing indoor PE and Thursdays will be PE outside. Please ensure children come into school with appropriate PE kit for those days. 

Homework

As per the school policy, we will not be setting regular formal homework to hand in, but there are a number of ways to support children's learning at home:

Reading

Read with your child at least weekly and encourage them to spend time reading every day if possible (even if just for 5 minutes). Reading journals were made by every child in September. This is a book where children can review the books they have read. This is expected to be kept up to date by the children, who will be invited to share their reading with their peers.

Maths

Later this year, the class will undertake the national times table test in which they are expected to be confident using their times tables up to 12 x 12. Children should participate in daily practice of number fluency. This can be done via online maths games that you can find here.
