Important information

Timestable Rockstars Homework

Children are asked to regularly practise their times tables by using Timestable Rockstars online. Each child has access to Timestable Rockstars and can use this via the free, downloadable app, or via the website  - https://ttrockstars.com/ at home. If your child has forgotten their log in and password, please message through the class email address. 

Reading Books:

Books bags should be brought into school once a week. In Term 5, books will be changed on a Friday. Parents need to sign their reading records regularly to show children are reading at home and so children can be moved up the reading rainbow and their reading achievements celebrated.

We actively encourage children to read a wide variety of materials as well as school reading books. If you are looking for some new books to try, I've recommended some (see below) and also added a reading 'tube map' which gives plenty of suggestions if you like a particular author.

Term 5 - key documents

This term we are learning about World War Two in history. Children will be learning about the causes and impact of the conflict on ordinary people, and how and why children were evacuated during the world war. We will use our learning from our trip in January to the REME Museum in Lyneham to support our learning of this important part of history. In Science, we will be learning about the life cycles of plants and animals, building on our knowledge of plants from Year 3. The knowledge organisers for these units of learning are below and cover, among other things, the key vocabulary children need to learn and understand. In English we will be continuing to develop our writing skills, learning key techniques to make our writing interesting and entertaining for the reader. Our English text is Letters from the Lighthouse by Emma Carroll, which links in with our history learning and is also our whole class guided reading text for this term. 

French - below is the key vocabulary list for this term's French topic - habitats. Children should regularly practise these words so they can become familiar with them. Practising these will support their learning in school.
