Welcome to Squirrels

Class teacher: Mrs Pope & Mrs Campbell
Learning support: Mrs Reed

Squirrels have returned this half term excited and eager to be back. We've already hit the ground running and are straight into our work and our rehearsals for Rise Voices this half term.

In our wider curriculum we are continuing with our Science looking at states of matter and how substances can change between these states. In Geography we are studying The Americas and then Earthquakes. We will also be looking at light and still life in our art sessions. We can’t wait to share our work with you.

We are working hard in our mathematics lessons, looking at fractions and decimals. We will be continuing building on the four operations using the formal written methods including short multiplication and bus stop division. This term we also have our MTC (Multiplication Tables Check) and are continuing with our daily timestable practice to support the children in this. 

Our English writing this half term we will be working on our persuasive writing skills. Thinking about our choice of vocabulary and varying our sentences to persuade the reader. We will be putting these skills together to write persuasive travel brochures throughout the term.

PE this term will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we will be outside so please make sure your child has the appropriate kit including a hat and sun cream! 

Spellings will be handed out and tested every Monday, please encourage your children to bring these home and practice them with you.
