Any reading you can do with your child/ren at home will support and benefit them immensely. If there are five recorded reads in their records, your child will receive a star and the class with the most stars wins the reading trophy for that week.

Times Tables:

As well as TT Rockstars, we have introduced a new method of teaching/learning times tables called the 99 Club. Children can progress through the stages at their own rate.  We have encouraged children to take home a copy of the level they are working on to practise, so you might like to ask them about this.

The Wider Curriculum:

In PSHE, we have been discussing body image and self-esteem. We have looked at images which have been heavily edited and discussed how this might put pressure on young people to feel they have to look a certain way.

The Ancient Greek legacies we have explored are: democracy; religion and beliefs; language; the Olympics and theatre.

Home Learning W/C 18.9.23

Spelling: This week, we will be investigating words ending in 'cious'. We will have a low stakes test on the words below next Tuesday (26.9.23)

TT Rockstars:

Children should continue to regularly practise their times tables at home and one way of doing this is by logging into their TT Rockstars account and engaging with the games and activities on offer. I have set up a friendly class competition - boys vs girls - so it would be great if you could encourage your child/ren to get involved in that!

Reading:

All children in the class have now been issued with a Reading Record and a levelled reading books - these need to be in school EVERY day. Hopefully, we will get along to the library next week to chose one from there too. We encourage children to read and enjoy books at home.  Please support your child with recording any reading they do at home even if they are now mostly reading independently. If there are five recorded reads, your child will receive a star and the class with the most stars wins the reading trophy for that week. I will look at reading records each Tuesday. Let's see if we can be one of the first winners!

The Wider Curriculum:

Have a look at the Ancient Greek Knowledge organiser with your child/ren as we have now kick-started this History topic. Our work will centre around this enquiry question:

Please do get in contact should you have any queries or concerns.
